Okay, 2 months to go, and today GM outed this "official trailer."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-CQh...layer_embedded

If you are quick enough to pause the video at 0:06 there are several pages of drawings that go by really fast, so you gotta be quick on the trigger. From what we've seen of the "leaks," the very last page of drawings has on the top-right, the front end which most closely matches the "leak" from the plastics mfr reputedly making the nose. Then, the rear end just below that looks like it could also be the actual design, with the very angular taillights, but also looking nothing like the Camaro "copy" everyone has feared/disliked so intensely.

Edit: At 0:32 there's a short wind-tunnel shot showing a round taillight, but it looks like the test is of a C6 body. Weird.

Then, there's the sound of the engine at 0:11, most definitely a V8, but I don't hear any FI (I have an awesome professional sound system), so the leaks about Direct Injection on the base engine might be for real, also.

Looking forward to more new "leaks," and I betcha there will be a slew of 'em in the next 8 weeks...

Best regards,
...z

Not a whole lot of facts to gather from this, but here are a few screenshots I took (someone already started a thread with some screenshots too) :

it would be nice to have it thinner and sleeker in the middle like the c3 , also very low seats and shorter hood to make it easier around the track. a middle drive rather than left hand drive plus engine in the middle , wait a minute? ........im drawing a ferrari!

It loks like GM is laying another turd, I was hoping a little more retro but I do like the engine and it should have been all wheel drive. I hope it doesn't lose the round tail lights

The exhaust tips on the first page look no different the a set of clean oem C6 tips.

Found in the January 2013 issue of Car and Driver. Looks like Jalopnik nailed it.

So.. is that image a CG rendering of what someone thinks it will look like? Or is that the real deal. Post more pictures please.

Screen capture from the latest Chevy Video release.

Hatch view with test equipment. Looks like Sparco seats in this one.

They will deprecate .. How much is the question. Z cars will always cost more then the other C6's.
