It seems that one of the nit picking aspects of the concept car is the front end, specifically the grill. After studying the photos, I believe the issue some of us have lies in the dual angles. The front bumper cover angles slightly away from the center of the car, while the grill itself takes a steeper angle from the same center point to the far recessed headlights.

Calling Kris H or anyone else with good photoshop skills.

Could you do a 3/4 front shot, like the one you recently did Kris, with the headlights brought out close to flush with the bumper cover and the corresponding grill angle? Maybe bring them out to the edge of the tapper right before the flat part of the bumper cover? I would very much like to see a side by side comparison of this with the concept car. I know this is asking a lot of your time, but I think it might do the trick. Who knows, maybe we can take a poll on it and if the majority of us like it, send it to GM. Thank you very much.

Surely someone can find time to do this, please. This could be a subtle change that makes a difference and it would absolutely be production version capable (not expensive).

 

That is my whole thing about the front end, the "Smile Effect" and the way it wraps around to the side view. I am no KrisH, but I did use his grill treatment to play with and came up with this. It has a more blunt nose and brings the grill down and in to toughen up the big grin. I think a subtle change like this can make it much less weird looking. I also rounded off the rear quarter corner.
BTW Have you seen the Canadian TV show where the Designer says the front end was made to look like a hawk face with alert eyes? They pulled it off, it looks like an bird.

I only see a red X?

 

The pic seems to c0ome and go. Here it is again.

 

I was not talking about the angle of the bumper cover itself, but the angle of the grill. What I ment was to bring the headlights out close to the front of the bumper cover and then taper the grill from the center point to the newly placed headlights. Essentially the grill would have the same angle as the bumper cover.

Do you see what I am saying?
