That one looks like a Malibu.

Can't these "artists" or "designers" be at least somewhat original?

I don't see much in the way of similarities beyond the basic 'they are both Chevrolet sedans' similarities one would expect. At a glance its pretty easy to see that the fascia, body lines, grill, and proportions are all very different.

At least it has a more interesting rear end than the other 'interpretation'/concept!

I wouldn't be suprised to see it end up looking like a 4-door Camaro, when decked out in all it's sport trim.JMHO

If a savvy buyer ticked the right boxes, the equivalent of a Chevelle SS wagon could be had in 1970, I'm sure, and they would have been four door cars
Here ya go

Obviously a photoshop, not a sedan, and probably not very indicative to what the SS will look like, but I do like this...

Also, I really could care less about the name. They can call it the Chevy Dogpoop but if it has an LS3 and a manual, I'm buying. I'm not driving the 1-inch tall badge on the trunk.

Kind of hard to tell any physical differences aside from the front vents though.

It was mostly a joke but I mean both the SS and G8 look exactly like a the Holden cars. I know they changed the front end but come on. They might as well just import the damn Holdens as Holdens.

That's the point. Holden relies on exports in addition to the Australian home market.

So why go through the extra steps of modifying the car, marketing a "new" Chevy and then trying to sell it? Why not just bring it over as a Holden badged car?

Because the cost of starting up the Holden brand in the US would defeat the purpose.
