Default Deja-vu?

Is it just me, or is this new Chevvy very familiar looking?





The Chevrolet TRU 140S concept, from a report on the Detroit auto show. Hmmm.

Looks like a mix of the Camaro and the Mitsu Eclipse.

I like it. They may put the 260 hp turbo in it. Seems to be there favorite engine. Could be fun. I agree with Kyleseghatch.

I gotta agree with Kyle, loooks more like eclipse than a CRZ, but can see where you think it looks like CRZ from too.

Yup, from behind it demonstrates strong cues from the current generation Camaro.

And that's a good thing - from a company perspective, why not draw from a popular seller, and as a design team, that's probably a good way to get your car off the drawing board and into the model shop.


But from the front quarter, I really think the Chevrolet TRU 140S Concept resembles the CR-Z Concept.

To me, this:


looks a whole lot like this, wearing a bow tie.


Not that this is entirely a bad thing - imitation being the sincerest form of flattery and all.

Kyleseghatch, Dripkit - now I see what you mean!
I, er, I kinda think I like the Chev better than the Mitsu.



You won't kick me out of the forum for that,will you???

Definitely like it better than their other concept (Code 130R):

Which looks like it was drafted by Pixar, and lifted right out of Cars-2
