That has to be the most Mundane looking Retro Style vehicle I have ever seen. Nothing to do with it being a GM, but the lines are to soft. It looks like a Bar of soap (Irish Spring, its got that shape) that has been in the shower for a while.

It shares little in styling with the 57 Chevy they show, the only obvious thing is the slope of the new car kinda matches the Belt line of the Shoe Box Chevy, and the Dash resembles it also.

As for the button for Aggressive Spark and fuel mixture for when you want power.....Havent they heard of just being easy on the gas?? Its called modulating your foot. Sounds like a Gimmic to me.

As for the 315 HP Straigh 5, if the vehicle makes production, it will probably be detuned down to 250-275 HP range.

Speaking of such, has anyone heard anything else about that Pickem Up truck thingy that GM was working on? I heard its supposed to be put into production soon, but that was the last I heard of it.
