Cruze SS coupe photoshop ....a good one

Slow news day , week really . Wanted to see what could be of Cruze coupe . I like the front of the Sedan but hate the rest of it . So to PS I play . I had to freehand form all the windows and side body panels , borrowed the wheels from OZ( ultraleggera's) and HRE( monoblocks ) , pulled a projector housing out of 08 3 series bimmer for the headlight and freeformed the parking light and fog lights , grill , lower lip extension ect. I didnt change anything radically from the core cruze design , no more change than GM's own transition from Cobalt sedan to coupe .

I hope GM builds this car as a coupe , I think this turned out pretty sweet . Throw in a stage 1 level 290 hp LNF with a 6 speed manual

This is the original pic I started with of the sedan .





did this one for fun , lights on .


...and did a Koni challenge car

One badge is sufficient for me thanks , on the unshown rear decklid . Im not a fan at all of slathering badges everywhere , its tacky imo .

Thanks guys ....and charlie , I wouldnt have any problem with a Monza name at all . It sure would mesh with I think about anyone over Cruze or even Cobalt .

I think Monza would be a much better choice. I'm sick of Chevy SS-ing every single car they make. There doesn't need to be a high performance version of everything. And if they do decide to make a few high performance models, don't call them all the SS. SS means nothing anymore. It used to stand for something, now it's just a generic badge that could mean anything from 15-second car to 12 second car.

....except the only models wearing a SS badge now are the Camaro SS and the Cobalt SS and maybe the hhr SS if its still around . All of those are legit rounded performance cars , I think Chevy got it .

WOW that thing looks awsome..

could someone email these to GM please..or better yet..Scott get in here and show your superiors..

imagine this could be a go almost..if only the G6's coupe body fit on the Cruze body. Just need new sheetmetal.
Or better yet just use the G6's structure and rework it for this..
