Four doors with the rear two possibly suicide style. V8 very short overhangs. I think we will see something very similar to this at Detroit from Buick, maybe Chevy. It looks very much like a Sigma mass car. I think we won't see anything Camaro like in the US but overseas who knows

This has some promise....At least it doesn't have the slab sided look of the CTS. Nice tumblehome effect. On a platform that can go as small as a 3 series size car. We shall see, I suppose....

I think it looks pretty good. Actually, alot of Opel's recent cars have been decent looking.

Odd, but I see some similarities to the SS concept. Maybe just coincidence....look at the grill opening, placement of headlights and opening under them.

You're right, but I don't think it's intentional....Still, those would be a good heritage styling que for a 5th gen.

question: is that Lutz in the pic with four people? I don't recognize him but if he is there I'm sure that is good news

He's going to be at every concept unveiling GM does in the world along with CEO Rick Wagoner (Bob Lutz is the head product chairman of GM). Don't read too much into him being there.

Yep, he's in the picture. Far right.

thanks for the reply. I just went over to wieck and saw it and came back to delete that post. oops you people are quick on the replies....

I just thought since Lutz was inspired with the Monaro and got it here that more good news would come from this
(BEYOND the ground breaking news that this Insignia concept reveals)
