I doubt it interests many here. I like these concepts better than the spy shots I have seen soo far.

from the first picture it reminds me of a shrunken cartoon version of the new Camaro

You are wise in the way of the force... ;)

I like the coupe, the 4 door is meh...

To add to that I would put a turbo 4 in it as the base engine and if you really want to get buck wild have an SS model with a turbo inline 6.

Looks good, especially the mini-Camaro front end. It's worked in the past, look at the S2K's mini-Viper front end.

I like everything but the rear quarters. Just make the car wide enough the first time

FWD = FTL

Make it RWD and you've got a fan right here ;)

They are claiming an AWD 6 speed "SS" version...

I'm sure that it will come with those 20" wheels on the stripped down rental version too...

Looks better. At least GM is updating their small cars, unlike Ford. :(
