i think that with some aftermarket parts it will look good. but i do agree the front end stands higher than i thought. they should make the body more porportionate to the top half... maybe they will make some of the design ques functional like the '69 gills could be brake ducts. some things like that could make it cool but chances are it will be heavy to be really considered for the track anyway.

The first i heard when they were comming out with these they said the downside would be the weight something around 4,000 lbs i sure hope not that would be bad news bears for sure!
And sure any car will look good with a new set of rollers on it etc but. damn come on make the thing at least cool looking! not all these government guidelines crap like the bumper has to be so high etc in the cars and trucks
this kind of thinking has ruined the future of any " hot rod" appeal.

I actually like it. I'm really hoping they improve the interior from the other shots. I plan to buy one if the interior is fixed. I think with a small spoiler (like the concept) it will be good looking. I will hold final judgment until I see a production version in person.

As for weight I'd expect it to be 3700+lbs. The platform it's based on leads me to believe this anyway. Hope it has a lot of power to back up that hefty weight...

Calm down........it's pre-production!

I am sure it's partly their intent to make it look "not right". I am sure by the time it hits the showroom it will look the part. BUT...as I have said before, I wish they had done more of a retro look. Specifically a carbon copy of a........... 69 !! :unibrow:

I'd hope they keep it closer to 3500 lbs. As long as it's not 4200 like the Charger/Challenger, we'll be good to go.

Here's new shots of a white one in Tampa...

lol usually its the pre production that looks nice when new cars come out, and then we are dissapointed.

What part of the tail lights look like a '67 besides the color of the lens?

I don't care for the 69 gills, or the front end in general (although I've seen some photo'd versions that look slick, so maybe I'll hold judgement), but I think the side shots look kinda nice.
The rear looks very Vette-esque to me. I think the taillights work for the rear...
I kinda like the tail treatment.

If you wanted a good looking styling job, Pontiac- not Holden- should have had a crack at it. Look at the 98-02 WS6 cars. 'nuff said.

I think it looks great. I like the fact that the 5th Gen has character, something the 4th Gens never had.
