What grill do you like better for the 5th gen?





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 It is done with class (unlike the Malibu)

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.

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

To answer the origional question between the two choices given I would choose the concept, but the concept.

How about all horizontal bars in the grill of the concept like that blue one. Could someone chop that?

Re: What grill do you like better for the 5th gen?

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.

Re: What grill do you like better for the 5th gen?

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!

Ok, I'm a little bias

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.

The further chevy gets away from the "bar" on the front of everything the better.

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.
