I dont think that is from GM, its definitely chopped... It is still a "concept" just not from GM, in my opinion... It does look good, but it does also rip off a lot of other current Pontiac concepts... The mirrors are from a GA, unless other Pontiacs use that design, The front is definitely not original - needs some work and doesnt flow at all with older firebird designs, especially with the semi-awkward placement of the fog/driving lights... Also on the side of the car you can see a reflected image, like it's sitting in a parking lot, while the rest of the background is black, I don't think GM would do something like that in an official concept, why render a reflection like that, unless they already have a design, and produced this car and took a pic outside - but that is definitely not their style! :) Anyways... Sorry to rip it so much, but it aint from GM... Good chop job though! Looks pretty good...

look at the front bumper you can see a store front type building in it, and where do u see black reflective material infront of a store?

The serious lack of headlights, flip up or otherwise, was a clue also. You can see where the GA headlights were filled in, and on the driver side, it's all messed up, like the colors were matched from another spot like you can do in Paint, then the parking lights look very drawn in, again the left looks funky, with more of a black edge seen. Also one sides parking light is higher then the other! lol Chopped to hell this picture is.

and filled in spoiler gap thingy
they did something to the door's too, like filled in the window "b" pillar and the door opening itself, it does look like a vette in a way
its fun to pick it apart this way though hehe

LOL and not to mention it appears the door handles are shaved..... hmm yeah GM is really gonna release a car thats THAT custom straight from the factory.
Shaved handles from the factory will go over like a lead balloon or a snowball in hell.
