GM is so far behind everyone else in the styling department it will be hard for them to catch up. If some of their concept cars make it to production, they may have a chance.

I agree with most that they do look good. I'm definitely biased, but the C5 still looks better.
The Impala looks like they grafted a Camero front end onto a Chrysler 300. Actually the front end of most of them is very similar to the Camero.
That said, I still like them and hope they help to revitalize the industry in North America.

GM seems to introduce a new nose on the Cadillac and then a few years later it shows up on the chevy ... - like the escalade head light/grill assemby later showing up on the silverado.
So all those new concept front ends look too much like today caddys.
Agree ? - or is just me ?

The Chevelle looks great. Now if I could fit a C5 nose on the C7 I'd be in heaven. Otherwise the C7 nose looks like one of the transformer characters my kid used to play with. The C5 has spoiled me big time. Now I would take a 66-67 vintage. Sorry I sold my 66, 61, 54 etc.
The other thing is that each of the other cars carries the same theme (angular) as someone else mentioned the CTS. They need to be somewhat different.

I certainly hope GM heeds Mr Callaway's advice. Keep the engine in the front and keep it affordable. Mr Wallace, please do not stray too far from the original Corvette concept, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. And please bring back the pop up headlights.

Of course the Vette I would want will cost 115k
That's way out of my league. If I feel the need for 850hp, I'll have a set of Trick Flow heads and fast 90/90 installed and I'll be there. Sweet car though

Fortunately, I don't think the car will look like that, because if you look at the picture of the Volt, the production version doesn't look anything like it.
