I think this deserves it's own thread.
I also think this will sell quite well.

Those hood scoops have to go. Unless they are functional and then they need to be redesigned cause they just don't look right.

The front end needs to be wider. It looks like they took a small car and fitted it with huge tires, then had to flare the fenders to make it fit. Those hood scoops either have to be taken off or made smaller. I don't like the tail lights either. Other than that I think it looks great!

The rear lights and spoiler look a bit messy together but overall looks much better than the Pontiac. The Pontiac looks too much like the G6 up front.

Agree on widening the front end a little bit. Hopefuly some of this will get worked out before production starts. I am sure these are pre-production units.

Wow, I am thoroughly impressed. A big thumbs up to GM for having the guts to make a RWD family sedan and sell it in America. It actually looks nice, something that can't be said of the Dodge Charger. Hopefully the build quality is there along with the looks.
Ford should take a lesson from GM and bring over some of their overseas models. Then maybe they won't lose $12 billion.

Man this looks totally awesome. It will do much better than the GTO/Monaro.
As for the hood vents, that's been a part of the Pontiac "design language" for awhile now, sadly. Anyone remember that overdesigned Firebird? I gotta say the Oz version looks much sleekrs and sexier.

Well thanks! Now you ruined the car we're getting here since I know there's a better looking one somewhere else.Kajun, that's what the holden version looks like...

That Holden looks absolutely fantastic! I don't mind the funky tail lights at all on that one.
