Couple of Chevy concepts

First, a Cruze coupe, conversted to RWD and the front wheels moved forward. Inside a set of synthetic suede buckets and large grip steering wheel. Under the hood would be a low compression 3.6L and an intercooled turbo, mated to a 6 speed manual driving the rear end suspended in a Solstice type IRS.

Here is an Equinox I turned into a sedan. I got the idea after pulling up behind a new Taurus, where the front end of my Grand Marquis was more than a foot lower than the trunk of it.

I like it. Looks a lot like a Mazda to me though.

I'm thinking that the RWD Cruze Coupe should have the rear wheels moved forward a little bit to help with weight distribution to the drive wheels.
