Chevy missed the chance to design the sheet metal with some appearance similarities to the late 60's early 70's Chevelles. Just look at the success of the new 'retro' Challengers, Mustangs, and Camaros.
No, Chevy brought the SS over to boost Holden production. That’s why the styling didn’t change and there were few options. It was never intended to be a long term product.

The Chevelle would never work. It would be a bigger, heavier and more expensive Camaro.
