Droool, droool..... another very, very beautiful VE car. Awesome job Holden.... I just hope it gets to be brought to market!
OK, I've looked at the pics a couple of times now and I have to say that I really don't see the Coupe 60 as a Camaro, GTO or Chevelle... yes indeed. In fact, it looks eerily like the GTO artwork from MT a couple of years ago that someone was nice enough to post again. Very nice but it doesn't scream Camaro... I think GM has done a nice job so far with the 5th gen car and this car as Camaro would be labeled as too bland to carry that name... Very Euro and Audi-esque but lacking in Camaro-ness for sure.
As a new GTO it would be great - euro like the last one but crisper and more contemporary looking.... now approve and build it for NA markets too.

Camaro
Mustang
BMW 135
Solstice GXP coupe (if it appears)

When is Alpha supposed to come online? I'd like to see some concepts based off of that chassis.

Note the shorter boot and lowered roof. Size is pretty close to the G8 (which is big!) so this would be quite a bit bigger than the camaro.

I told you GM should have saved the pennys on the gimmicky Camaro interior and just used the standard G8 interior.
I see this being built if the G8 sedan and UTE do not keep Holden factories running full tilt.
