Looks decent...

Nice sleeper, I guess.
It lacks the 'rawr!' value of the G8 GT.

Styling = boring, but that's been true for all Chevy sedans for the last 40 years

What about the Corsica?

I don't remember anything special about those.

To me they were basically just a downsized Lumina. With the most hideous looking steering wheel known to man:

Corsica\Baretta were ok when they came out.
Friend had a (maybe 2.2? I think it was a 90')4banger Corsica. Thing took a ton of abuse and neglect but it still started and made the hour 3 trip from Albany to Long Island 2-3 times a month. Thought it was a nice looking series at the time

The thing about that car was the front seats...dear lord of the sock drawer did they suck.

The Barreta GTU and GTZ's were decent.

With a little luck, the SS variant will pump a little adrenaline into the rather anemic styling...but any excuse to bring in a rear-drive V-8 Holden gets my "thumbs up". Go Bob.

total fail. if they revive the caprice, at LEAST make it look like the old school model, not this new aborted fetus of a fetus. this further proves what I've known for awhile. GM is shit.
