I like the fact that it appears to not be just another photochopped 2010 camaro. I don't like ti because it looks like something designed by Ferrari or some other foreign automaker....not enough muscle to it.

The front end looks absolutely hideous. The rear end looks pretty good to me, maybe just a little tweak here and there and that would be nice.

Don't like the long 4th gen type windshield and short hood/front clip.
The rear and all looks good.

Interesting design, but it looks a little to much like a Mitsubishi Eclipse.

I liked the camaro-based chops so much more. That front facia screams "Get off my lawn, whippersnappers"

I like the back, but not the front so much...

I don't think it's terribly bad. Like dream says above, at least someone is showing some imagination. There are a lot of nice design elements on this car. A lot of it just needs to be toned down and smoothed out.
Also, I think there are some issues with the artist's proportioning. Like maybe some improper foreshortening?

The one thing I don't like are the humps above the front wheels. Doesn't Mazda do this? And I think we are seeing some of that on the new Benzes. I don't care for that.

Otherwise, it's a great start. I'm just not sure that GM would want the Firebird or T/A to be the poor man's Corvette, if they were to ever bring it back.

Looks like a cross between an eclipse and an RX-8.

Not worth the time.
