Actually look at it compared to a Quattroporte, they are very similar. I think the Quattroporte came out after this concept though.

I still wish GM would have brought that SS out. All they had to do was make the interior in the concept a little less flash/futuristic and put it on the show room floor, it would have sold by the boatload.

It is possible that something like the SS will come out in the 2008-2010 timeframe.

Not gonna happen. It's to good of a deal for GM. The simple fact that it could sell well based only on it's looks means they won't bring.

Problem is there is the Camaro and the Vette to worry about. Chevy cant really afford to make 3 cars compete with each other.

ah you make a compelling argument. however, the GTO will most probably have a second row of seats big enough to fit adults

It looks exactly like a Vauxhall Vectra except for minor badge engineering.
