EV Coupe from GM
It’s not a Chevy and it’s sure not a Camaro. I’m not even sure I like it but it IS a stylish, well thought out EV coupe. Yes, from GM China and yes a Buick. But I interpret this as hope for a Camaro (or Chevelle) in our future.

How this can be seen as hope for a Camaro is flying right over my head. As I said earlier, while there's nothing wrong per se with a new EV car from General Motors (although I'm not planning to buy products from GM China), it will not be a Camaro and should be a clean break with a new name/branding. No offense, but I swear if you weren't retired, I'd think you are doing some guerrilla marketing campaign here for EV cars.

its not a 4 door...judging from the looks of things the same folks that wouldnt buy the 6th gen camaro wont buy this.lack of visibilty and trunk space would be my guess.

It's just a concept, they are showcasing concepts for years and just throw them away. But I highly doubt anything that is even close to that will make it into production soon.
Just look at the actually really well recieved Avista concept from around 2016. They never build a car even close to that

They did the same thing a several years back with a Buick concept. Concept looked stunning, but never saw the light of day in production. I suspect it will be the same with this one.

Addressing the EV Concept itself, looks like it will have zero trunkspace and likely the same window / visibility issues of the 5th/6th gen camaro.
At least Teslas and the Prius EVs are (somewhat) practical if you don't drive a lot.

Wouldn't take much to dress it up to give it some Camaro heritage. That roofline sucks though.
