Exactly what I was going to say.

I can't say that it looks good, but, at the same time, I don't think it looks that bad, either...

So... Let me just say that it looks interesting...

I need to see much better pictures to be able to comment further.

The Velite (concept's supposed actual name) also reminds me a lot of the BMW Z3 of a few years ago, before the Z4...

Velite is a play on words.

Velite = VE + Lite.

You don't have to look very hard to see the SUNOCO Camaro lines in the fenders from the Riviera ...

Don't expect the same bodywork on the Buick to end up on Camaro...er GM's "small sports coupe" and vice versa. Styling will be unique to each car in this case.

Instead, pay close attention to the Velite's dimensions, proportions, and the structure itself.

The reason I was asking danno about cowl height and A- pillar is that I assume those are "fixed".....even for the "Chevy Coupe" ( or "CC").

I hope "CC"s cowl looks lower.

I remember...I meant outside of Danno himself. I've been curious how close the picture was in proportion, shape, etc....and it seems to be very accurate for what it is! If he did the editing on the photo, then he's to be commended!

Talk about looking "Fast with Class", if they make that new Riv it's over for the Lexus...that thing's(Lexus) ugly, too round everywhere...I like the "jelly bean" analogy...
Buick!

A HF 3.6 V6, or a 5.3 V8.
