More Like The Corvette

GM wants to make more Chevrolets look like the Corvette

GM's design chief says we're going to see the Corvette inspire styling on more Chevy models

GM wants to inject a bit more style into the Chevy lineup by drawing inspiration from the Corvette Stingray.

Speaking with Automotive News, Chevrolet design head Ed Welburn says we’ll soon “be able to see a subtle link between some of the form vocabulary” when the redesigned Cruze, Malibu and Volt eventually hit the market.

Although you can see a bit of Camaro in the current Impala, Welburn says Chevy hasn’t quite taken advantage of the styling seen on iconic models, such as the Camaro and Corvette. In particular, we’ll see Corvette-inspired hood lines and headlights in an effort to give otherwise mainstream cars a competitive edge in the styling department.

The first push we’ll see in this direction is the next-generation Volt. Teased last month ahead of its Detroit debut, the front end already appears to be considerably sharper than the current Volt.
