I loved the car until I saw the back end. It looks identical to a Buick Lucerne from the back.

I think it’s another bland offering for chevy. Does nothing for me. I find it even more amusing that the car the person runs into in the commercial is a rebadged older Malibu (it’s the Daihatsu or Hyaundai equivilent.)

Stylewise, no, does nothing for me. But its a big step for the General. This car is going to play ball.

Most sub-30K sedans are not what I would consider “hot?”
