The New Chevrolet CSV CR8!
No... it's not a photochop.
Yes... the steering wheel is on the correct side.
Yes... thats a gold Chevy bowtie on back & on the hood....
......... and NO, you can't buy it here.
It's for the Middle East only.

Spoiler = 
Grille =
Side vents and emblem beneath =
Otherwise, I likey.
Those wheels are far better than the triangle wheels from the Holden version of the car (and shown on some of the G8 "concepts" we've seen).

?????????????
I thought this was a total "no go"?
What's different about it? Looks like a holden car with a couple bowties on it?
The spoiler is ok. Not "feelin" the front clip at all. I really like the back and the side view.
Edit: I missed the "it's for the middle east" line under the pics.
With that said, the caprice they have over there looks killer, especially compared to this...

It is for a different continent...
The G8 is basically badge engineered, too. Who cares what it is called? It isn't like you can buy two or three of the same car under a different badge. So it has a different name for a different market.
Lexus cars sold in Japan as Toyotas. Acuras sold as Hondas.
What is the problem?

I fail to see what the excitement is about.

Excitement regarding what? This car?
I'm not excited about this one, 'cause it won't be sold here. I am excited about the G8, though, 'cause it will.
As far as this middle east model goes, the better this platform does (regardless of where), the better off GM and Holden will be, and that is better for us here at home too.
I take it you don't care for the G8.
