Hey guys,

Don't know if anyone seen this, maybe old news. This is another concept by GM. The new designs do look good and I see some Stingray Concept in this as well.

Maybe this is the direction they are heading for the C7? Who knows ...

Cheers,
Grave

Pretty old.

It's definitely not the direction GM is going with.

Also, GM almost never makes their finished results car look like the concept. While many people are disappointed by that, they need to remember that concept cars are just that... Concepts. They have lots of ideas in which the engineers and designers pick the what they want to use from it and figure out a good balance between feature and cost.

The recent GM cars I can think of that came closest to their concepts were the Solstice and the Cadillac XLR.

It's possible that the original Volt design (which is now the Cadillac Converj) will likely be very close to its concept.
