Why do you say that? GM has some of the most talented designers in the industry, by far....and Lutz at the helm. I would think the Solstice would make people believers again in GM styling....

From what I've heard from good sources, it seems that we're in for a pretty close representation of their final design, not concept. It also seems that production may be bumped up one year if all goes well. I'm getting my deposit money stashed away into a money market account starting now.

I have also been told that it will be everything we're looking for so retro Mustangs... step aside.

I like the look, but not the wheels. If they build it I will come.

Man, everybody is so emotional about the Camaro coming I think there's gonna be tears...but tears of joy! Don't count GM out yet - I think it's gonna be pandamonium when that thing comes out. Fights at the dealership will erupt because there will be overwhelming demand. I think it's gonna be crazy fun when it comes out!

I beleive that this is the Challenger, not the Cuda. I'm in agreement with another comment on this post - the bumpers need help breaking up the height and thickness of the front and rear bumpers. Bumpers need further study?

This is why no-matter what GM does, it will always be wrong

I was talking to "some dude" at the LG party in Vegas and he said he could get mallett numbers with a simple turbo setup!

I like the car ,Mallett did a nice job with it.

Yeah, I heard that conversation. It'd be one hell of a car with a lot less weight than the LS2 version.
