the more i look at that rear end the more i think it would look way better without the spoiler. still don't like the tail lights, but i think it would look way better, cleaner

Just today I've had several people who don't know much or care much about cars ask me about the Stingray. That says something.
Not necessarily true, people don't like it because of the ass end, it's huge and not very appealing and looks more like that of a Camaro... that's obvious and easy to see...

Sure plenty of people will ask you about the Stingray, it's a revival of an old car that was highly sought upon... Doesn't mean they've seen the ugly remake of it yet..

GM could have definitely done a better job all around IMO.

All right, correction, people who saw the car on news outlets this morning asked me about it.

Seriously, the redesign has been praised by the vast majority of people out there. The performance is there. The design is there. The interior is the best it's ever been. Mission accomplished, GM.

No, in fact it'll probably be more expensive than CTS Coupe. ELR uses an updated version of the Volt's technology.

I would like the spoiler to be integrated better into the rear fascia but it's a non issue for me.
