Ugh....that is far from "excludive" anything. Photos of the new Epica have been on GM Media for weeks.

You're not missing much - it's an Epica with the new Chevy-style grille. Think Epica meets Malibu.

Re: FoMoCoNews Exclusive: Chinese Epica Gets New Chevy Sedan Face

The first of those new photos looked passable, despite the awkward front licence frame. But the rest just showed an awkward, awkward revision, just as bad as the 2008 Aveo.

edit: Oh, gotta love that black plastic.

We have, it was posted on GMI previously, but I can't find the link. We've seen it though.

I don't think this face is spreading to any other markets outside of China though.

Re: FoMoCoNews Exclusive: Chinese Epica Gets New Chevy Sedan Face

Thats the lower spec version.
The higher spec has a screen where that compartment is.

I like the interior
Compared to many American cars interiors its tip top

The rest of it looks better than the front end. And the uplevel interior looks pretty nice.
