Looks ugly. Hopefully they will redesign it. Its like they took the ford gt, lambo, and that wierdo caddy from the island and combined it into one short fat design. Of course I am sure this will not be the final design...... but then again it is GM

Something needs to be done with the rear fascia If it was squared up and boxish like the rest of the style lines it would look pretty good.

That red one looks nicer than the yellow one. It has gilles like a C2 Sting Ray which I think is cool.
