To repeat what several others have said (and several more are thinking) - this is an illegal act. Should be interesting to see what comes as a result.

Shockingly enough, though, we haven't had anyone complain about Roush (a "Ford tuner", according to previous threads) taking on a GM product. Might that be because looks pretty damn nice?

Would Chevy have a say in this?

I think GM could build a better looking version (SS).

Whats the point of a front bumper like that with no sideskirts and rear bumper? It looks incomplete, like a poor ricer.

Ok, I know it is illegal, but seriously. The admins are gonna see this soon enough. Is this brown nosing really that necessary?

Aerodynamics I'm sure. The regular GM trucks are all like that.

Our attorney is pretty knowledgeable in matters like this, want his name?

Either way. I like it. Roush has a bunch of stuff coming for GM that many will be pleased with.

Nice response, Josh!

They're already starting - I've got some Roush goodies for a Duramax pickup that will soon be the subject of an Autoblog review. I think that by the time the Camaro launches, Roush will be well along the way towards shedding the perception that they're only a Ford tuner.

haha seriously ^^^ I think the old body style SS looked way cooler BTW

And the wheels look like they were drawn by a middle-schooler

I am surprised the Gestapo from GM hasn't descended upon this board yet...

Whats the big deal, its looks like a art work design proposal, something that makes it in magazines every month, Its not an actual pic. of an actual truck, if that were the case then I could see the concern.
