Actually, there's at least 4 of them.

Just follow the vanishing point on the perspective.....they're definately smaller...

Looks like it will be pretty close to the concept. The front end seems softer - like it isn't as angular and doesn't jut out as much, but that could just be the camo.

It also looks like the roof is a little higher than the concept and the hood is shorter - or at least the relationship of the back edge of the front wheel well to the door cut line. Looks like the roof is still lower than the Mustang.

The flying buttress camo on the rear to cover the roofline makes it look like a Javelin.

You can see what the door handle. looks like its going out of the body....:/

rest of it looks bad ***. i love the shots next to the mustangs. but why no interior shots??? the guy was obiousy wondering around the parking lot for long enought to get different angles. I honestly wonder sometimes if "spy shots" are really that or if theyre images companies release to give some hints but not tell the whole story. (not this is by far not all, but sometimes i wonder that)

Didn't notice the door handles. I was kinda hoping for flush handles that you put your hand under to open (like a "pocket" under the handle.)

They look like the handles on the new Malibu

Either he saw the interior and it was full of equipment and couldnt see it well, or the interior wasnt finished (mule) and was just a partial job, or cause he was let to take some shots but not allowed to take others.

Dont know, I'm not in the business. But as you said, sometimes you gotta wonder... (If it were me I'd be sticking the camera under the front bumper to get a view of what was under the hood too!)

Looks like at least one model will have the cowl hood. And the backup lights have moved. And the b pillar is mostly hid behind glass as expected.. You can also see the gill outlines.. just looks like they are panel creases not actual ports.

There weren't any reverse lights on the concepts, right??? Bumblebee didn't have any either that I ever saw.

I know everyone is very excited about the car and these are just mules, but I am worried that the actual car will be different enough that I may not want it.

Take a look at the profile for the mule and the concept.





The smaller wheels on the mule hurt the looks. yes I know they won't use the larger size because of cost, but the car doesn't look right without them. Also, the mule lacks the fender flares and the details on the doors. I guess the details (or the lack of) in the door and rear quarter panels just doesn't seem right.

I hope I'm just worrying over nothing, but I just love the looks of the concept so much I'm afraid the actual car will be just different enough from it that I'll be disappointed.

The camo is doing its job then. look at the car very hard you can see the detail in the doors and mid bodyline all the creases are there, if thats what your talking about.
even if GM doesnt offer 20" wheels the aftermarket will.

Um... looks like a nice spring day in AUS in those pix. Or did you mean they'd be sending some to North America?

Stop and think about this. You are judging the car already, when it is covered in shapes and colors to intentionally hide shape and details. Not to mention, it is a blurry, blown up picture and details that might be there are gone as a result.

The wheels are probably something that was laying around in the shop. The front and rear fenders "don't look right" because they are half covered up and what isn't covered up is camouflaged in the black and white mentioned above to throw off detail and correct angles.

Here is a great example. The horizontal lines are straight.


Not too different in theory than what is on the car, eh?

These new images are by no means the image to use to make decisions on, there is a LONG way to go yet.
