A Chevelle Concept

Just something I threw together, a 2 door Malibu. I wish I had a better angle to work with, like a level 3 quarter front view, but oh well. I dont imagine to many people will go crazy over this one though.

I really like that actually. Would like to see more if you get some more angles to work with.

To me, it looks quite a lot like a Malibu...........

Defintely has a certain potential though.

I think you did a good job considering what GM gave us to start with.

Thumbs down

A chevelle was a full size car... it needs to be at least the size of an impala. The current malibu is a very glorified ford escort IMO.

Also the chevelle was one of the most beautiful cars chevy ever produced (except right before its death). That fugly malibu front end just doesnt cut it.

It also looks a bit "skyline-ish" :blah:

I rather it stay dead if thats the best they can do.

I'll admit though, they did a nice job of making a turd (IMO) look good. So, Id like it if it didnt have the chevelle badge basically.

Looks like a cross between an Impala and Malibu, .

How about a NEW design? Unlike anything GM has out on the market.

Actually the Chevelle was considered a midsize I believe.

I like it. It looks better as a two door than a four door by far.

Not bad.

The Impala has been downsized, so why can't the Chevelle also be downsized?

Also I like the historical ties between Malibu and Chevelle.

A chevelle, was larger than any car we have on the market today, especially the four door. But then again, i guess there were bigger cars back then.

Hmmm... another example of my theory that we'll eventually be driving go carts around for the power to weight ratio

The Chevelle was classed as a 'midsize', or intermediate back then, as were the GTO, and Cutlass. The Impala, Catalina, were full size. All things relavant.

There's nothing wrong with getting more from less

Looks like a interpretation of what a 2004 Beretta would look like.

i like it. I would say just have bigger wheels and have the bar go just in the grill and not wrap around the whole front of the car, other than that i like it.
