this car looks way better with this bumper and wheel treatment:

looks a bit aggressive there, the lights looked photoshopped.

dont laugh at it, cause if it comes out, we cant handle it.

if you must laught though, laugh at the person who plunked down so much money for it.

Only a completely redesign could help that ugly thing!

That car is not so bad, but I'll take the G35 any day. http://forums.freshalloy.com/ubbthreads/images/icons/smirk.gif

I don't see the difference.

Or is it that I don't care about it?

Perhaps it is that this car is ugly no matter what?

There's always room for change.
Helps if GM usually listened to the public.

This V-Series is new to me so I check out the net.

It's powered by a 350 hp 5.7 backed by a 6-speed.
They also plan V-Series for the rest of their lineup.
I'm guess this might be the CTSi, or maybe it will be in the V Series later with the LS6.
In my opinion, I dislike the current engine because it's their corperate Euro V-6.
They should have dropped in at least a V-6 Northstar (which I think will be standard soon), the V-8 Northstar, or what I feel would have been the best base engine, the Vortec 4200 inline-6 from their GMT360 SUV platform.
I can see a car version, up the rpm, rework the head and cam, and get about 300-320 hp from it.

But hey, I don't mind a small block. Aftermarket parts already avail, and it would be nuts to see the tuner versions such as Lingenfelter, Mallet, or Doug Rippie.

I'm speculating the front end rework for possible high perf. brake cooling and the grill work for cooling the V-8 better.
