Which is why I said in comparison.
They still managed to spend close to $700 million on developing FG, shows how you can change everything and still end up with a car that looks similar to the older one. As nice as FG was perhaps it needed a little more aggressive styling than the softer euro kinetic.

On another note, zetas product envelope was to cover a large SUV with 120” wheelbase, presumably Chevy Traverse. What a shame that Commodore didn’t have its own “Territory”, I could imagine a ton more sales.
