From the top the extender looks fuggin' goofy, but in the front 3/4 pic lower down it doesn't look half bad. Not a fan of the rims, either. Way too much chrome. I don't want to blind the other drivers and have them hit my new $40k SUV.

I believe what we are seeing is development on the newest high-performance El Camino. Just a guess... :P

I've posted the idea a couple times that Holden and Pontiac split the bill for the "Beta" chassis that the concept Torana was on. Make the top engine the TT3.6, make the Ecotec a base, put optional AWD, standard RWD, and you'd have a good Firebird. That way there's no confusing it with the Camaro, or the GTO. If you want, you could even move the Vibe to the chassis, for something a bit sportier than Delta.

For me, I can see several different ladders leading to one direction. (I am going to generalize. It may not be correct, but it'll help me get my point across) You've got Chevy and Saturn at the bottom, with "Baseball, apple pie, and Chevrolet," and "Soccer practice, Starbucks, and Saturn." Both provide basic transportation at an affordable price; Saturn for people who have an image to consider :rolleyes:, and a Chevrolet for someone who wants something reliable and American. Then, if you want to take a step up from Chevy, there's Pontiac for the people who prefer performance. For those who prefer bells and whistles, there's Buick. If you're a truck kinda person, you've got GMC. Saturn, being a more Euro kinda brand, leads into Saab. If you prefer trucks, you've got an additional rung with Hummer. Hummer acts as the "Cadillac of trucks," for those who've got money and want to show it. At the top of the ladder, you've got Cadillac. This is the brand to get when you've "arrived."

It can be left as a 4 door, but I like the idea. Lucerne Ceilo (sp?) with the sectioned retractable roof/rear window. They did it on the old W-Body as a demo (Regal), so maybe they could do it on the LaCrosse, too? That'd be interesting.

I'd like to see what they say to themselves when GMs turnaround finally starts manifesting itself, and GM gets back on its feet.
