Considering how the car isn't even in production yet, I doubt you saw it at a shop. Just sayin'.

It looks too much like a Pontiac G8, with some Camaro parts thrown in. I'm not a believer.

This. With Camaro parts. It's just speculation, and not good speculation...

Rear end of the G8, Camaro side sheet metal & wheels, headlights from the Volt, and front nose from the Impala...... I hope this isn't the finalized design.

Greenhouse looks like a Saturn.
Some poor camaro is missing a rear diffuser and wheels.
Nothing else is even worth commenting about.

I know this pic wasn't produced by GM but if the car looks anything like this, really whats the point. I have a hard time seeing a lot of people being excited about it.

Ditto. Nothing special, for sure. And "SS" should be a trim/package... not a model. "SS" has come to denote "Kick-ass" and I don't see this car in that category.

Pleeeeeease Chevrolet... don't try to equal the Charger.

Are they coming out with a RS also?

I like it, is this the new vehicle that the Nascar racer will be based on for Chevy?
