Wow, is that really for real? The back looks radically different, and the sides aren't nearly as angled as I thought they would be, but it is still nice and I'll probably buy one

Me too!

I hope that's a Delete-able option. I knew it would get watered down for production but, that back-end is WAY too rounded. The profile looks pretty good but I wonder about the front / grille area.

Any pics of that?

The sunroof will definitely be optional. Here's a comparison with the concept. Looks close enough for me. The only minor thing I don't really like is the reverse lamps.

I'm sure we all knew the sunroof would be optional, but it's too boring, it doesn't have the unique t-top thing that they had for years

No ****.

That On-star fin thing looks AWFUL!!!

On current cars with a similar fin, do they actually put a hole in the roof to install that? Or is it just a double-sided adhesive we can pull right off? It's gotta go. I'd hate to take a brand new car to a body shop just to get the hole filled and painted, but I'd have no choice if that's the only option.

There is no way I can live with that ugly thing stapled on the roof.

I agree, that OnStar "*****" sticking off the roof has got to go!

I think the production rear-end will look good when you throw a spoiler on it. If you notice, thats an important piece missing. Also, there's no Chevy emblem yet, so its hard to judge because in this pic, what draws your attention is the holes where the license plate will be.

brakes are different (puny), and if you notice the kicker area under the door is a little different.

i dont like the thick side markers. the reverse lights are iffy.

and that onstar dick needs to go!
