Headers instead of a manifold. I don't know if they'd be considered "long tube" headers as they are a little shorter than the ones on my C6. However, they seem pretty long considering where the engine sits. They never mentioned headers, but you could see them when they were doing the VR shots where they make it look like you're looking inside the car.

The Over the Air Firmware Updates are a mess. because GM’s new electrical system called the Digital Vehicle Platform. As one of the features of the system, GM may offer over-the-air software updates for engine performance, vehicle ride characteristics, and navigation updates. As such, the platform’s security is said to be so robust and secure that only dealers will have access. In other words it is going to take a stroke of luck before we can flash the computer.

Tanks are in the rear
There is an error in the C&D article:


Tanks have been in this configuration since the C5
