Re: Chevy concepts From GM site
Whoa, a Chevy alpha concept!
Looks like a Chevy answer to the BMW 1 Series.
Could be freaking cool, but I'll need more pics. Not sure about the styling yet. If this is sort of a spiritual preview for the next Camaro, I would expect the production styling to differ quite a bit from this concept.
Actually, looking at the pic more, I think I could drive this thing as it sits. Probably wouldn't call it a Camaro, but that is a cool looking car. Front fenders have a little Corvette flavor to them. I'm assuming that turbo power means 4 cylinder (as per ATS), not a 3.6L turbo.
Very interesting...

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit... that Red thing is gross... The silver one is a little better but looks to much like an Eclipse...
Wow am I negative today! I expected so much more from GM at the show this year!

Should the 130R be produced, should it be called Chicane? GM did just trade mark that and 130R is a reference to a specific turn on the Suzuka Circuit that leads to a chicane on the course. I like it.

Re: Chevy concepts From GM site
So this is probably why we didn't get a Cruze hatch. Even though I like the red one better with RWD, I think the silver one has a better chance with its exterior design - the look of an exotic sports car at an affordable price. No one else is doing that so its nice to see GM on the forefront.

Actually it looks like one already existed as a possible Pontiac concept:
