All the other mags got this months ago...when it was news back in August. Yeah, I know it is just part of a larger future auto article. I wonder if they asked GM for any info or just got it all off the web?

While not really new, it's still a rendering I like a lot, so long as it doesn't have the Camaro tails.

The front end, on this rendering, is just the ugliest think I have ever seen.

If they wanted to sell me instantly they would have made it look like this:



Combined with my (decreasing) confidence in my LS7 due to the (possible) valve issues, if I ever have 70K sitting around again I will be giving other companies much much more consideration this time around.

That rendering was taken off the original jalopy rendering. Get used to it, it's the C7 minus maybe a tweak here and there.

I like it from the shown angle. The rear will be the deal though.
