Am I the only one Dissapointed in retro???

Re: Am I the only one Dissapointed in retro???
Here's my design. I couldn't think of a good name (one that doesn't coorespond to something else ex: cougar is both a car AND an animal, so the name sucks; Corvette is pretty distinctive, it means something else I think, but it dominates the name/term so that's good.)
Since my name is made up, I thought it would work.
I would say this baby would of course be a 2 seater on the Kappa chassis, coupe only, turbo or super charged V6 from the Grand Prix, and would definitely NOT have huge 18 inch wheels. Rough ride? Hard to get into? Who cares! This would be Chevy's Lotus Elise . Lightweight, distinctive styling, low volume, $25,000, 260 hp. Sounds like a dream to me .
I didn't use a reference pic when drawing it (because I was at work), but I think it is kappa size...

Thanks . It's rare that I post a concept idea on here and get a compliment lol. Camaro people are ruthless and tell it like it is , I just have unpopular taste usually it seems...

M/T is saying there is a rumor of a V6 Kappa Chevy Stingray. Dont know what the Saab V6 turbo puts out but interesting idea.

Remember this is M/T's rendition not GM's.

It doesn't look too bad, but seems to be overkill --it looks too much like the Solstice. Not really different enough to get much response.
I don't know how most people feel, obviously, but I think that Chevy could sell at least 5,000 of what I drew a year . I'd love having a tiny Lotus-like car with exotic wedge styling .
