I'd change the grill on the concept, I like the photoshops with a SS badge in the grill... but out of these two I kind of like the chrome bar better :eek: It is done with class (unlike the Malibu)
HOTCIVIC 03-30-2006, 04:57 PM I like the way the current concept looks, but I wish they could make it look even more like that drawing someone did a while back where it was red with black stripes. I can't find it anywhere but it looked REALLY good and it was similar to the concept.
IREngineer 03-30-2006, 04:59 PM I'm not a big fan of eggcrates. How about a new interpretation of the Caddy's wire grill?
What about horizontal slats with a simulated 1st gen RS hideaway effect? I know the anti-retro guys want to kill me now.

I would imagine there will be a thriving aftermarket for different grille looks.:)

let's just hope that Chevy makes removing that ugly eggcrate piece an easy process... I'd hate to have to saw that thing off my new car;)

I really like that one, alot! The only thing Im not big on with that rendering are the center lights...
To answer the origional question between the two choices given I would choose the concept, but the concept.
ImportedRoomate 03-30-2006, 07:06 PM How about all horizontal bars in the grill of the concept like that blue one. Could someone chop that?
Good Ph.D 03-30-2006, 07:17 PM I actually like the drawing's front better. The concept one looks a bit blunt from the pictures, I would definetly think I would like a more sharkish one better.
But I haven't seen the concept in person. Even still I prefer the fog and headlight setup in the drawing.
ssheets 03-30-2006, 10:59 PM The grille was the one thing that I had to warm up to. I've learned to really love it (took about 30 seconds in person) but I still don't agree with the little front scoop and the cowl induction. I say enhance the cowl induction a little more and nix the small scoop out front.
One thing for sure, the car looks far more impressive in person and has a major attitude!:bow:
Ok, I'm a little bias:)
RoMaD 03-31-2006, 10:09 AM Agreed. Please, if you have not seen the car in person, do NOT comment on the concept's aggressiveness or lack thereof. You have no clue what you are talking about.
falchulk 03-31-2006, 10:27 AM The further chevy gets away from the "bar" on the front of everything the better.
Agreed. Please, if you have not seen the car in person, do NOT comment on the concept's aggressiveness or lack thereof. You have no clue what you are talking about.
I'm hoping to like the grill better when I see the car in NYC in 2 weeks :) Not that I think it is bad, but I would just like to see some other ones. I can't wait to see the car in person.

This is what the car should look like basically. But if I had to choose one from the original post it would be the lower one with the bar removed.

Granted. Challenger looked MUCH better in person at the Washington Auto Show. Im just not sure I want to drive two states to NY to see the car. Kinda holding out to see if it ever comes to MD...

Ironic that when I first saw the concept car video (Heritage Museum) I said, "the nose needs to slope more, it's too blunt." Your picture does exactly that yet after seeing the concept in person and from every angle I like GM's version better. The nose in your image looks 4th gen-like compared to the in your face blunt bull dog muscle car attitude of the real concept.
Of course I agree this is all subjective, my point is that my opinion changed once I had the opportunity to look at it in person and soak up the true personna of the car.
Can't wait to see them out on the streets molesting mustangs.:D

Hi Tim I agree with you on it and I like the car as is and want to give GM room for a change or 2 in the next years models. I just want it built.
