You're right. The LS2s are in the HSV models, where they put out more power than in the U.S.

 

I hope it isn't dumb down for NA production, i really like that.

 

I like it... BUT... the rear end with that spoiler reminds me of the Scion TC, and the front bumper cover looks like a Sentra SER mixed with a CTS-V.

Am I the only one who thinks this?

 

I don't think so, at least as regards to the rear spoiler. However, I for one want to speak up for KEEPING the rear spoiler. I fully support people having the choice for a spoiler delete option. For myself, I hope that whatever form this car takes in the States, an aggressive rear spoiler is standard, or at least an option.

 

Rear wing is a WHOLE LOT easier to add than it is to remove after the fact. It absolutely, positively should be OPTIONAL; could even be a dealer add-on.

 

I don't see why they would force you to take the spoiler. The S.A.P. was dealer installed option. Why not this.

 

 

I am about 1/2 and 1/2 on that car. Side profile is AWESOME.

Front end is where I am iffy. But you know what? This would be on my short list of cars to consider if I was in the market, and this was in our market. I can talk about the few small details I don't like, or I can talk about how the entire package as a whole is AWESOME.

 

THAT CAR IS FRIGGING AWESOME!!!!

 

It's the funny rear end I'm least enthusiastic about... the taillights are undersized (IMHO) with a combination of sharp and round shapes. The rest of the package is just awesome, especially with MRC and those 20" wheels and 275-width, rear tyres.

The rear end styling is only a minor criticism... as it's something most Ford owners would be seeing a lot of!!!

 

I hate to beat a dead horse (well, that's not really true), but THIS is what a modern automobile design looks like. For those ostriches that think the Camaro concept somehow represents a modern 21st century design, put these two side by side and perhaps you'll understand why the concept is clearly retro.

 

Is this styled enough for Pontiac? Already has a Pontiac looking nose?

 

If by that you mean overwrought and excessive looking... then hell yeah, at least before the G6 approach to "clean" Pontiac styling came along. Awesome car though, I bet it looks downright sinister in black... though in truth, I'd be just as happy with an SS-V in the driveway....

 

As much as people , well the younger gen , absolutely nut all over themselves at the sight of a Evo ... a Pontiac like the that would be a out of the ballpark grand slam . Keep the car on the drifting circuit like the GTO , and they may just pull alot of import faithful into a new Pontiac .

I personally think HSV car is a bit too much . How about the HSV mechanicals with the look of a Calais

 

Very good point.
