The red car looks more production ready.

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.

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.

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

The greenhouse is a tad awkward on the red car.

Re: Chevy concepts From GM site

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

From a '61 Impala SS 'vert:


From a '59 Impala:


From an unknow year Chevelle:


From a '66 Chevy Biscayne:
