    GM stealing CHRYSLER's ideas????

    http://www.gminsidenews.com/naias/re...a/impala.shtml

    looks the chrysler 300c for god sakes!!!! come on GM be original!!!!!!

    i thought i might share this you guys even though most you may know this or have seen it, but is just me or does it seem like everytime GM makes a new concept it looks really close to chrysler vehicles. for example chryslers got a new JEEP RENEGADE concept yet GM has a new HUMMER LT (i think its called the hummer LT) and it looks almost dead on like the renegade only bigger. i like GM but this is just weird.


    MODS: K&N Filter,SRT8 Rear bumper swap, Flowsmaster 40 series dual exhaust w/y-pipes,
    Dual 4 inch chrome rolled tips, SilverStar headlights-highbeams-and fog lamps. -PROJECT REGAL UNDERWAY!!!
    2006 Magnum SXT (daily driver)
    1987 Buick Grand National
    making a ten second pass in a honda is like coming out of the closet-you may surprise alot of people, but in the end youre still gay.

    My goodness you are right. It has 4 doors! and, and 4 wheels!

    Get serious, no one would ever call that a Chrysler.

    I clicked on the Pontiac, now that Firebird and GTo would be something I can see me giving my Mag up for! I love my T/A WS6 and this would be a good upgrade, Pontiac really need to get their head out its ass and drop these!!!

    And I dont think we will see that 7.0 in there with the way things are shaping up.

    But it does look like they saw the success of the 300 compared to the bland impala.

    I can see the 300 resemblence from the B pillar back..

    no so much in the front, and the interior is hideous..


    but still, I have until my 300 always been a GM guy.. if GM puts this out with the LS7 and RWD, I will move back to GM..

    only reason I got the 300 was RWD and a V8 motor.. at the time GM didn't have either..

    It sure looks like one to me. The huge wheel wells, the short front overhang.

    I'll say this, it looks 10 times more like a Chrylser 300, than the current Impala.

    There is absolutely no way Chevy designed that car without staring at a photo of the 300.

    I suppose you don't think HHR looks just like a PT Cruiser either. GM has NO new ideas of their own.

    thats exactly true i think honestly the escalade, and cts is the only original thing as of now to come out of GM heck even ford has their head straight.

    The car doesn't really seem like it would suck, so GM won't make it anyway.

    I was a long time fan of Impalas until they turned it into a **** car w/ a v-6. Don't give me the gas pipe, but if I was in the market for a fast, 4 door American car, i would give it some consideration, especially with that 7.0 engine...whoa!


    Personal Best: coming soon!!

    I agree. With the picture on screen, put your hand over the front grill and look at the rest of the lines of the car (without seeing the front end). That's 300 styling right there.
