Look at the indents on the front.

Based on the lines you can clearly see under the tape othe grill I think you are correct. Also the flat appearance of the hood in both cars.

But look closely at the line of the headlamps. The taped up front end is more square with straight lines and an almost Cruze like upper rear corner. The rendering is showing a more rounded appearance.

But sadly I also hope you are wrong as that rendering is much less attractive to me than even the current generation Commodore.

The G8 is on the VE platform. The new SS is on the VF platform. New platform = new body.

Either way I like it. Chevy has stepped up at started making some nice looking cars. The Cruze looks good for a small car. Just saw a brand new Malibu LTZ and that looks pretty nice too! If this comes with a LS3 it might see some of my garage space.

I think it'd look good with at least some sort of variant of the Commodore's hood scoops.
Sorry, I didn't read thru all the pages of this thread but has it been posted what to expect to pay for a fairly loaded 2014 SS?

No price given out yet that I have seen but my guess it's above $40,000.

GM will need to keep it somewhere reasonably under the Cadillac CTS-V to make it viable. If the price difference is too close, why not just get the V? Of course, it STRONGLY depends on what motor it comes out with. If it has the LS 3 it better be well under $40K. LS7, A little over $40K would do. LSA, now you have reason to move towards $45K!
The big thing to keep in mind is that when the G8 was announced in 2007, the US Dollar was worth 1.40 Australian or something around there. Since that time it has swung to 1 for 1! A well appointed VE Commodore in Australia is around $60K AU!!!

I am basing it also with dealer markup. I've just seen a brand new Malibu LTZ fully loaded for 35,000+ and thats FWD with a 2.0 T. SS with V8 and RWD should put it there being fully loaded.

Yes, but I believe Australian prices are with VAT included, just like Europe (and pretty much everyone else...)

Still, I'd like to see the SS with the Gen V LT1 from 2014 onwards.

The nearest competitor to the SS, the Charger, could be had with a V8 for about half the price of a CTS-V so I don't think there isn't much chance its going to start anywhere near CTS-V pricing

LOL at the LS7 in the SS.

I can't think of any Chevy, other than the Volt and the Vette, that ever started above $30K. That said, I would say a reasonably well-appointed SS with the LS3 would start under $40K for sure. I'd say $36-39K, more or less what you might pay for a nicely set up 2SS. I can't say I'd pay much over $40K. That would be $5000+ more than a turbo ATS w/manual transmission... I don't think Chevy wants this to be a low-volume model, and I think if it's way over $40K you wouldn't see a lot of them. I mean, I can count on two hands the number of G8GXPs I've ever seen. So I hope it's mid-high 30's.

Well before long we will have one here too.

Cars, perhaps.

Traverse, Tahoe, and Suburban all start above $30k.

As for volume projections, I wouldn't expect this car to light up the sales charts much at all. It seems like it'll a niche product for the most part.

If they wanted it to be a high volume model, they'd give it a V6, build them in Oshawa beside the Camaro, and price it in the mid 20s. But its being imported from Australia as a V8 only. Don't expect to see too many of them.
