Seriously?
The taillights are more or less a pretty generic shape in the auto industry......

If those taillights share anything from the Toyota Cresta, then I'm the Queen of England.

I think it looks great as far as a four door sedan.. I don't see the tail lights being copied at all.. being rear wheel drive and a nice V8.. I give Chevy/holden props for bringing it here

These are very common in Australia where they were designed.

VF has same engine as VE until next year.

They look good and sound good but compared to my BRZ for on road handling they are a bucket of shit.

You get 362 bhp but they weigh over 1900 kg

BRZ has the asthmatic 200 bhp but sub 1200 kg it's a better sporty car
every day of the week.

That's a bit of an apples and orange comparison. One's a strict coupe, the other is a family sedan. You might as well compare a G63 AMG while you're at it.

Chevy version looks okay. I'd drive it. But no MT option significantly lowers my willingness to pay for this car.

Love all the auto hate... Unfortunately all "real sports cars" are going the way of ditching the manual.. I'm all for it.. I've rode in a 430 and the kick and speed of that transmission shifting was amazing.. There is a reason manufactures are ditching it and any auto enthusiast already knows them, around a track my auto doesn't upset the car at all, yet in my ride along I could feel how the shifts was moving the car around.. If the auto has launch control then it's faster to 60, in a 1/4 all that.. In my motorcycle world having a quick shifter and not lifting cuts up to 2-3 tenths.. I don't know what a pdk, or dual clutch car would get over a regular 5-6 speed, but instant shifts and autoblips on downshifts gotta help..

wrxgoose · 02-17-2013, 04:58 AM

don't like the looks, and it's going to be so freaking heavy. too heavy imo

oops86 · 02-17-2013, 09:59 AM

This would look better as a Buick.

I'm also still waiting on my El Camino. Still waiting.

Rayme · 02-17-2013, 11:45 AM

I guess that's one of those cars you need to be a GM fanatic to like. A sports sedan with bland design and no 3rd pedal (it's about the fun of driving, not lap times).. Sounds like a great car for a family guy who's wife can't drive manual though.

We get it in manual here. We even get it as a very nice station wagon!

Funny about the bow tie. Over here, bogans (rednecks) replace the Holden badges with bow ties.

Who is copying whom? I'm pretty certain the Stingray concept predates the LF-LC by...three years!
