SRT-8 I like.

The Torrent is just the Equinox under a different name.

Chevy appears to have run out of original ideas and is now cribbing designs from Honda's Accord.

G6 Coupe kinda resembles and RSX.

The Viper is a Viper.

'Stang convertible looks pretty decent.

HHR =

I don't think its all that bad. Looks better than the PT Cruiser, although that isn't saying much.

Certainly not BMW 6 series or Z4 ugly.

That's like saying an ugly person looks better than a leper...

Agree about the Chevy that front end looks way to much like the Accord's, I wonder if they screwed up the back end too?

Appears they copied the Ford 500 - oversized but underpowered V6 (3.5L only gets you 210HP??); large car feel in midsize package?

Too bad both the Ford 500 and Chevy seemed underpowered, unexciting and destined for fleet usage.

The Impala's 3.5 with 210 actually puts out more than the 200HP in the 3.5L G6 and Malibu. Same engine BTW.

But the Impala will also be avalable with a 240HP 3.9L and a 300HP 5.3L V8.

I thought it was a new PT Cruiser at first glance.

Why does GM insist on continuing to build pushrod engines anyway?
