A cool Suzuki Mini competitor

Just saw this in an RSS. Looks pretty darn nice for a minicar. Given that Suzuki sells lots of minicars in Japan I would say it is a decent little car. I do not know how something like this would go over in the states though.

I too like the styling of the Suzuki better. The front of the Chevy is just too big for the rest of the car.

Can it look any more asian? The back end of that car reminds me of the Japanese guy at my sushi place, smiling and nodding as he hands me my order

Ok... you got me. Similar styling, but the Suzuki is a 5-door and the gaps and panels are different.

the chevy is a concept. the suzuki looks like a dead ringer for a production version of the platform that the chevy will be on.

Except that the Chevy will be on a totally different platform than the Suzuki. Remember I wrote that they sell quite a few minicars in Japan? That is where they will get the chassis from, they won't need GM Daewoo for this chassis.
