Thats an odd color scheme for the interior given the exterior colors.

I absolutely LOVE everything EXCEPT that hideous and useless gauge cluster.

Everything looks pretty good except for the radio and Ac, looks like there won't be a good option for a replacement on it. That kinda sucks.

I wonder how much more room under the hood this one will have vs. a 4th gen, looks like it should be alittle better.

Ugh, I mean those are kinda cool to glance at on a forum but ICK. Could you imagine having to use those on a daily driver while going to work in the morning?

WTF? Those are the gauges? Hope all the models aren't like that. Wonder how those will fare after I spill my soda on them or something.



That is a gauge cluster, courtesy of the 2007 911 Turbo.

I love the look of the car.


The wheels have to go, the originals looked amazing, these units hurt the looks of the car. The stripes are a nice touch.

The interior looks great with the 69 styling cues, but the guages need to be more functional. The seat I really like the looks of, just hope they are comfy.

Get it right Chevy and I will be buying one for sure. Don't start screwing with a great start on the concept car.

I agree, they really need to make those gauges more functional. "Sir, do you know how fast you were going?" "Somewhere between 75 and 100, officer."

you know, I used to HATE the front end of this car when I first saw it, and my buddy used to rave that I was a moron for not falling madly in love with the whole body. I love the rest of the body, and I hate to admit it, but the front end is growing on me... I might actually come to love it by the time it comes out (not that I am going to be able to afford it). Question is, will this come in a t-top? I would rather see that than a convertible. What about a hard top? I know they are considered "cheaper and less hardcore" but they look sharp on some of the 3rd and 4th gens... Please tell me though that they are NOT NOT NOT going to come out with a V6? I really prefer that if they do, they call it by a totally different name, and maybe a slightly different body. Or just leave that right with the Grand Prix

Wow, they kept the lines great looking didn't gain any frumpyness like most verts have even the 4th gen imo.

That is a vert done right

This is a concept car people, The guage cluster will all be changed so it is readable and the actual car wont have 21 and 22 inch rims either. So theres no need to worry about it. Just hope they keep the rest of the interior because for once it doesnt look cheap and plastic

Dealerships info is wrong, the ls2 isnt going in it. so dont worry about that either, it will be an engine that isnt out yet

I just cant help but think it looks like a XLR mixed with something else. After seeing the Camaro and Challenger next to each other at the auto show last year, I hate to say that Chrysler did a better job....
