Re: a Finished 5th Gen....???
Well, I believe somethings are a little exagerated in it's styling, or at least I hope they are. But I am glad to see that the engine is under the hood and not the cowl! At least it better be with a engine compartment that big!

Second of all, before anyone goes throwing words around like "ugly" or have the opinion that they don't like it from one picture, maybe they should preface their comments with "...but I'd still like to see it in person before I make my final judgement."

Anyways, I love the car. The aggressive stance is nice, but I do agree with most that the greenhouse looks kind of tight, but perhaps they'll work that out in the production phase.
It screams Camaro, I love it..

Boy, I sure hope that drivetrain info is as far off as it seems to be, that would be a nightmare honestly. The LS family is so awesome I sure hope they don't ditch it for some sub-5 liter faimily of DOHC low output crap motors...

Re: a Finished 5th Gen....???
I hate the pointy nose and sideview mirrors. Everything else is fine...unless they kept the crappy tail lights from the leaked sketches.

Re: a Finished 5th Gen....???
wow...just saw the pix (I think R & T pulled the video...can't seem to find it). My first reaction is that I feel like a piano just got lifted off of my head. I like it and will own it. Only sort of complaint is I think the nose is too pointy, but I'll wait until I see more angles of it before I really pass any serious judgment.
IT'S BACK! FINALLY!

Code name for the all new engines family is the acronym AKCUS but the powertrain team has given it the latin name of cave fatuis

Note that the accronym spells SUCKA backwards, and cave fatuis means "beware the fools" in Latin.
