Chevrolet S3X is on the Theta platform?

From USAtoday.com

General Motors (GM) is making widespread use of its Theta architecture, which spawned the new Chevrolet S3X compact crossover at Paris. Better looking than BMW's X3 in my opinion, the S3X will be built in Korea by GM Daewoo and sold around the globe in various guises.

Is this SUV the first look a Theta or is that a mistake?

Re: Chevrolet S3X is on the Theta platform?

The Saturn Vue was the 1st look at Theta and that was like 2 years ago. The Equinox also rides on Theta as will a Pontiac and Suzuki. Now a better question is are we be looking at Theta Ver 2.0 or is it just a different skin? Notice the different A pillars on the S3X it is VERY much different than both the Vue and the Nox so I would guess it is Version 2.0

Doh!!!!! I got confused and was thinking Lamda, thats right Theta has been out for a while.

It is interesting that Chevy would have 2 Theta SUVs. How many people would spin the "3" around 90°
