its okay but it looks to euro to me and to boxy...so far i like the volt looking one better but i can see this competing with the bmw crowd but it would need a fantastic looking interior

but i like to see different renderings so keep them coming

don't use any name from the past.. let the past be the past and let those great cars be remembered for what they were. If they come out with a NEW 4 door car that is to be a "muscle" type car, give it a NEW name. Example.. the G8.

Honestly.. think about it. If GM would have named the 2004-2006 GTO something different.. such as G8 coupe.. it probably would have sold better than it did.

I am just saying, I don't think it would be a smart thing to do.

really.. If they came out with a new "muscle" car, and called it the chevelle, I would be kind of digusted. I think of the 70 Chevelle SS 454 we just sold, and a new car with that name just would not fit right. New cars deserve new names.. PERIOD

(obviously the Camaro, Corvette, etc.. are totally different examples, because they have generations etc..)

I personally would not want to see Chevrolet bring back the GTO as anything other than a Pontiac. I mean think about this Chrysler was reportedly planning on bringing back the Barracuda (unconfirmed, just read it in a few places) but they won't call it anything other than a Plymouth which is a name they killed off, but if they do bring it back there is no other brandname it should be, and this is exactly the same with the GTO.

Also look at it this way, in the event GM ever decided to bring back the Firebird (not gonna happen) would you want it as anything other than a Pontiac? I know I wouldn't want to see a Saturn Firebird.
