Should this come out on 2/24/2016 and be posted on 2/25/2016? I saw that the last one was uploaded to YouTube on 1/28/2016 so should we expect 2/25/2016 as the YouTube upload date?

I thought it was on the 4th Wednesday of the month? Maybe it takes a day to post on motor trend?

What do you mean by "come out on 2/24 and be posted on 2/25"? When exactly can we see the article & video? Tonight at midnight?

And only weigh 40lbs less than the M4! That's nutso. It was supposed to be a callback to the 2002 / early 3 series "small" cars. I'd say they missed the mark.

I'm not sure. I think you'll be able to see it tomorrow.

I thought there would be more comparison videos out by now. The car is on sale, and sites like Motortrend don't normally waste time doing these.

Last time there was a Camaro head to head (Mustang) I believe it showed up around 2 in the afternoon.

GM hasn't done any performance media drives of the car, yet. Generally, the company does one or two special days at a track of their choosing, and invites representatives from all the major outlets to come and drive the car on the track...then slightly after, they allow certain media outlets to borrow the car for a while as a long-term tester, etc.....

I don't think any of that has happened, yet.

Which makes no sense. Why tout the track capability of the car, then do nothing to demonstrate it to the media?

Dunno. They may be waiting for the weather to break to make a huge media effort?

Hopefully that and they are trying to work out the first year QC issues before they start handing them out for more in depth testing.

Maybe.

The weather has been fine in So Cal for a while now.

Possibly. Usually, then handpick the cars for such events.

Also - I don't remember the 2010 SS being reviewed all over the place real early. Of course, that car also started being built in March, not Fall...so they had the whole summer to play with the media.
