Do they use actual automotive design and styling guys for these before they pour all the money in the tooling? I'd be curious to see how they developed the idea from idea to finished product.
That was also my first thought when I saw it.

I actually spoke to the "designer" and looked at his sketches. He had some drawing ability but I really think a lot of the aesthetic execution issues could have been worked out in a scale model.

Totally agree with the modern Chevelle. It looks like it was forced. Great idea, but needs some refining.
