Very nice, certainly far sportier than I'd expect an Impala to be, but looks like a nice family sports car. I would like to see some rear drawings. Though I think I see a chrome bar on there. :o

All cars are considered "sporty" these days. Minivans even come with sport packages lol. Looks nice though!

I like it alot too. Maybe abit too swoopy to be a mainstream car like Impala...but it would be something that would certainly interest me.

This concept drawing reminds me of the SS Concept...but much better.

THat car looks great, it looks like a more modern futuristic version of the SS concept. I think it look great, I'd love to have that car with an LS2 in it.

How old is the artist? It would be difficult to package struts for this hoodline, but double wishbones would work. As for packaging a powertrain, that might be a different story, definately would need RWD.

If someone knows the lowdown on the artist, please share. He has a grip on styling cues.

What if you were told the new "Zeta" car would have a double wishbone suspension.

BTW: The new Holden line is described as being Audi 6-like. Given GM's move towards slightly more "angular" design and Lutz's pledge of producing "must have" cars, that design is very interesting.

Where did the artist get his inspiration?

One more time, does anyone know who drew the concepts? A name might be nice rather than a "handle".

He's a recent arrival at C&G: came out of the blue and amazed us with serious talent. I don't know anything else about him yet. You could just ask him.
