Seems like this version is the one most favorable so I made some changes based on feedback. Believe it or not quite a bit was changed.
I reduced the width of the car; especially the front fenders. Changed to the split horizontal stylized turn signals in the front. Put the Chevy logo in the center of the grill and moved the SS to the side. Because of reducing the width of the car the tires aren't quite as wide now but the wheel well extensions are more radical. Lower opening in the front is a bit wider. LED running lights in the lower front cutouts are not as wide. Revised the lower rear quarter panel scoops on the side view. I think there may have been some other things I did but I can't remember right now. At any rate quite a few subtle changes were made.

Looking good.
Not sure if you removed them on purpose, but you lost the hard lines in the rear from your last image that I thought was cool. Something about the rear end just looks a bit bland to me....not the blackened area or the lights, but the white area. I just feel like something small, but noticeable should be there to break that up. In the front, I'm thinking if you widened the raised part of the bottom of the upper grill it may look a bit better. Funny thing is, is that the basic shape of that grill opening would be very close to the 2014 which I don't care for. Actually, its not the shape of the 2014 front opening I don't like...its what they did with the headlights and grille inside of it. Not to mention I don't care for the new fog lights or the housings either.

Might just be artistic license you took, but the front Chevrolet badge needs to be much more prominent if you're trying to achieve a production look.

As far as Doc's design I really like the spoiler that looks like it is missing a piece in the middle. I can't think of a car that has one like that and it fits with the rest of the design.

It is a unique spoiler but not sure how great the aero benefits will be.
Also, just another nitpicky thing if you're trying to get a production look. Most Chevrolets have five spoke wheels. It's a dumb standard that was established forever and a year ago but it's one thing GM has held on to until today for most Chevrolets.

Great effort Doc, way to man up and subject yourself to criticism. Refreshing. So tired of the complaining membership... this thread is what is best about this forum!

You have to be joking, right? Now see what happens when you smoke crack and post on a forum? You can get bizarre side-effects... like comparing my design to an Eclipse.

The front end is now on the right track. Looking good! I still think the lower grille needs to be larger and maybe circle blinkers in the grille rather than square.

Bob Lutz detailed that and a lot of other stupid standards GM clung to before bankruptcy in his last book.

Hey Doc, your latest versions look great. The front and rear look sharp. The side view; however, leaves something to be desired. To me, it looks Plain Jane. The 5th Gen looks fast sitting still, your side view looks very ordinary. I'm not quite sure what to recommend though. Good job! My favorite is still KMPrenger's pic from page 1.
