Those are just awful...each and every one.

 

The last one (the Opel) (http://www.autonews.com/images/rando...z_kopel250.jpg) has a bad front end, but the stance and such looks good for a sporty/pony car.

 

Perhaps a mini-me sidekick for a pony car.

But for an actual pony car???

To paraphrase Guy... the next Chevy Performance Coupe aint gonna be Kappa!

 

The Chevy version is the definition of "rollerskate"

 

Is Autoweek trying to be funny, or what?

Bad part is, those concepts will be circled around the internet as though they are actual, GM concept cars.



EDIT: Eh, I read the article after I posted. I guess they had a design "bake-off" to encourage off the wall thinking?

Perhaps the "bake-off" had an alterior motive: to figure out which designers should be reassigned to design the shape of the valve stem cap. Then the real designers can move on with designing good looking cars.

 

 

I kinda like the Buick and the Opel.

 

horrific. each one deserves its own nightmare.

That second picture looked so bad..

 

All of those except the Chevy looked OK to me...

 

i can see the direction they want to head in. if you look at it like that, they aren't bad looking cars. like that one that looks like a rollerskate. that car looks like future styling with everday practicality.

 

Umm okay, here we go:
Atrocious,
Hideous,
Ridicoulous,
and just no...

 

DUDES that the Opel...Camaro.. I like it lol
