It seems to have been drawn from the same design cues as just about every other major sports coupe out there. Take a look at cars like the Aston Martin, the Jag's, the new Viper, they all tend to generally look the same and I believe that's where most of the design cues of the Enigma came from.

Looks like a smushed down stretched out jaguar XF turned coupe to me. However I can see the styling cues from the camaro with the large pillars and slanted glass. it is missing the long nose though...

I love it.



This is even better. I love that it's not bulky, and it has character lines with soft edges.

Interesting, but I really hope this is not an indication of how the 6th gen Camaro will look.

I think it has it's pros and cons as far as styling goes. It is based off the Camaro platform according to the article. Curious if it is any lighter than our cars.

They don't have to look the same to use the same platform.

Consider this year's Tru 140s concept:



It was built off the platform which underpins the Cruze (here's a Cruze, in case you're unfamiliar)



*edit*

Or the fact that the Camaro shares its platform with the Holden Ute:

Different market, different tastes. Would make a cool 2dr Caprice or Impala over here. I like it. But then one of my favorite cars are Merkur Xr4Ti's / Ford Sierras and 71 to 74 Javelins lol.
