That first vehicle looks like some new Nike basketball shoe, with a vented toe.

You aren't kidding. But I like the Buick, though.

The Chevrolet Kappa looks like Krappa!

(k)schevy kappa is not bad...

for a (k)nike shoe!

Think of the concepts as just unfinished ideas. The Chevy has potential. The photoshop wizards on this site can easily make this ideas into finished pics. I can't wait to see the results.
It is good to see Kappa being used in so many innovative ways. I can only hope they are for sale soon.

The other ones are OK (the Buick is great), but that Chevy has as much potential as the potato I just pulled out of the oven.

i agree but the potential is really deep and needs to be dug up

Tim_M · 09-23-2004, 09:56 PM

Um, I'd say "back to the drawing board." Of those designs, only the Buick seems to have potential- and only if they kill the breadvan tail. That thing needs a sloping rear deck, not a kamm tail.

The Chevy has potential- potential to make the Aztek look good.

The other two look like the cars Lutz used to deride as "angry kitchen appliances." I hope he hasn't lowered his standards in the name of expedience.

The Buick looks GREAT. The Opel looks GREAT. The Chevy needs to DIE. If you are going to make a hatch back type kappa for chevy, build the ***** NOMAD.

Also keep in mind, that Buick has 3 port holes. V6 Kappa?

The Opel looks like that Audi concept supercar from a year or so ago.
