Choppin' Competition 23: The Gap

Northstar
in Choppin' Competitions

I decided we could do a pick-you-own-picture Choppin' Comp this time, so I thought this was a good idea...

Your task is to create a vehicle that you feel would fill a gap in GM's lineup. There aren't a whole lot of gap's in GM's lineup because it is so vast, but if you think creatively I'm sure you'll be able to come up with something. Or, if you feel that GM has a particularly weak spot in their lineup, that would work as well. Just a few ideas:

Zeta vehicles

Small RWD vehicles (think Kappa sedans, etc)

Minivans

Cadillac Coupe

Please resize your pictures to 800 pixels wide before posting.

Deadline for entries is Friday, July 14th at 11:59 PM your time.

Now get choppin'!

I have an idea.. I will be home sometime this Saturday, too (July 8th). Woo hoo!

I'll set myself a bit away from the others this time... I'm giving this one to GM Europe.

The new Opel Calibra. 2+2 coupe, 3.6L DI Intercooled Turbo V6, LS2 6.0L V8 available. Replacement for the old Vectra-based Calibra, but this time it's moving up to compete with the larger Grand Tourers, so it's on lightly modified Zeta and packs a punch under the hood.

Yes, it's a rehash of the one I did before. I've made some very minor updates and fixes. :D

MarioBro88: You can enter both, but let me suggest something: rather than spending maybe 30 minutes to an hour on each entry, you'll have better success (meaning more votes when the time comes) working on an entry for 4 to 5 hours and perfecting it.

THX, Northstar, I will enter both, but in the future, I will take your advice.

It is from awhile ago but I finished this one with no place to use it. I thought it would fit good here. Hope its o.k. to use it.

I have a question, does it have to be a realistic chop? Since we're creating a car from scratch, is it possible for me to enter a chop that's drawn completely in photoshop/flash?

Chevelle SS ...RWD, 4 passenger sport sedan ;

Is that an original? What did you use to make it? Pretty cool.

THX ...base car was a Citroen. I kept the color, the basic passenger cabin and the rims, thats about all, it was done in Alais sketchbook pro, & all "painted" by hand.

damn good and a really good concept im wondering if that may be the direction passenger cars will go?

Oh, $h!.. I almost forgot about this competition. I already have a WIP and totally forgot about it lol

DETROIT,

In my book, that's your best chop yet. Nice job! :AH-HA_wink:

One suggestion: Eliminate the first body-colored A-pillar. I think it'd look edgier (and less-crowded) with just the silver pillar.

:blink::unsure::angry::angry::puke::puke::cussing::banghead::banghead:

i hate hatchbacks or anything close to them... especially when the name of an amazing car such as the chevelle is applied to them... (i hated am_rev's catalina in the city car contest just as much... dont feel bad...)

all personal opinions aside... clean chop... well thought out i guess... im still... im sorry i hafta stop before this gets really obscene and inappropriate

I think you should use the Vectra wagon as the base instead... It looks as if it was in a bad accident...
