The ATS coupe doesn't display a sense of power or sexiness IMO. That said, the 6th gen Camaro will have its work cut out for it when it is built on this chassis. I am hoping for the best.
If you expect an entry level (for the brand) car to look like a concept of a flagship car you are setting yourself up for massive disappointment.

And what, exactly, does the styling of this car have to do with the 6th gen? Yes, they'll be built on the same platform, but that doesn't mean a whole lot. Because these two cars were also built on the Alpha platform:

2012 Code 130R Concept


And the 2014 CTS



They don't share a single major dimension with each other & their proportions are clearly quite different. There isn't really anything that I can see about Alpha that dictates how a car built off of it will look.
