Good eye! That's definitely it, fender vents and all...

Re: Who's got the April Hot Rod and a scanner?

Why is the fuel filler on the passenger side of that car from the magazine pic, and the SSX concept is on the drivers side?

Why would they have the SSX concept sitting in the same shop as where the Efijy concept is being built. Wouldn't that concept that is several years old be stored somewhere else?

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Maybe, it's not a concept anymore.

Where in the hell is Guion when you need him.

SSX concept car = early VE styling themes.

When better pics come out of the real car, compare the nose (especially the grille) and tail.

By the way, those are similar to, but not the same as, the GTO wheels.

Only difference is the size (19"?) and the Holden center caps. Oh, and the funky valve stem... basic design is otherwise the same. I should know, I've cleaned my GTO's wheels a lot in the last year and a half :-)

I would guess that the picture has been flipped or mirrored and that's why the fuel filler is on the right side of the car, if you look in the cab there is no sign of a steering wheel on the right side where it should be on an Aussie car. Everything else is too exactly the same to be anything other than the SSX and maybe the Efijy is not as new of a concept as we think it is, maybe it's been in the works for a while, just a guess, I really have no idea why it would be with the SSX.
