That looks great, but the roof line makes it look like a 2 seater, or at least a 2+2 with tiny back seats. I worry that a production version would either not be practical or not look enough like the concept.

The red car looks more production ready.

Chevy needs to build both these cars.

It is a 2+2 with smaller rear seats.

To the previous comment about it looking like a small Chevy Lamborghini - that's exactly what they were going for.

GM is targeting the mid-20s single crowd where styling and cost is king and practicality can be an afterthought. Look at the Camaro...

1.4L 150hp and 245/35/21 Tires?? this car will be slow as a freezing hell. at least at launch (turbo+21 wheels = bad idea)

any way, I like the long nose idea of the red one, and the "lambo" look of the gray...

I find it interesting that the wheels of the 140s have the corvette flags on them

Perhaps a suggestion harking back to the previously mentioned "smaller/entry level" Corvette that was originally planned to be on Kappa. :p

but they want it to be that closely associated?? It seems like a bad idea to make a cheap car that isnt your highest performing car associated with your "flagship" car

Minus the God awful craptastic Chevy front end, I really like the red concept. :thumb:

I love both cars..and if those are small and entry level offerings.. they will be a hit.

and like everyone I too am wondering about the vette flags??

YAY! Another G6 concept...or is this an Opel...oh wait it's a Chevy re-nosed Pontiac concept!

I like the Code130 alot better.

My memory may be fading, but I seem to recall the SS concept also having similar flags. :p

The greenhouse is a tad awkward on the red car.

They're not Corvette flags.
Lotsa Chevys had flags on them back in the '60s.
