Nice shots, Chris. Despite the camo, it looks promising. Much more taught and athletic than the current car.

Now, if they'd only give it a better name.

Thanks.

Actually there have been rumblings of a name change. I dont remember where/from who I heard it...but I guess going back to "Regal" was under consideration.

Looks like it could be a pretty stylish car.... guess we'll see. Now that GM Design seems to be somewhat unfettered, the cars and trucks are looking better than they have for quite some time.

I agree.
Shame that Chinese designers of American cars get more leeway that American designers did, isn't it?

Looks a lot better from what I can see.

Jesus Christ on a pogo stick, that thing is square. The rear end has similar lines to a Toyota Camry, with the front end looking more like a Chrysler 300C.

I wouldnt worry about the rear just yet. The camo padding was kinda thick back there. 1-2 inches between the camo and the real sheet meteal.

The North American version will be very similar to the Chinese version. VERY similar.

Holy squashed greenhouse, Batman! I'd like to find the person responsible for starting this trend (Chrysler LX team?) and beat them senseless. One of the nice things about the W-Cars (well, at least the Impy and Lacrosse) is the greenhouse that you can actually see out of...

I really hope the bottoms of the windows are disguised by the camo (like with striped tape on the bottom part of the window), or those doors are too tall for the greenhouse...

It may be stylish, but I like my windows to have more presense than the viewing slits on a main battle tank...(a la Chrysler 300).

Otherwise, it looks like it will be a sharp car...

Don't care for it, but that is my opinion.

All GM cars look good under cover. Let's wait to see what it looks like unmasked. I hope it takes cues from Velite (as does Enclave).
