Re: What if............?

Not my style, but I certainly think its something worth pursuing. A Chevrolet in WRC, with a dominating street car to match would be an interesting wrench in Subaru and Mitsu's lives....

Loose the spoiler and that thing looks awesome. Price it below the Cobalt and their is nothing in that segment that can touch it as far as looks go. Since Chevy already has 2 spall cars it should probably go to Pontiac though.

Re: What if............?

I agree that the over done styling elements need to go but I would love to see a Car Magazine in 2009 with the MINI vs. Hornet vs. CHEVY (name?) on the cover.

I assume this car could be made in Korea and share components and/or replace the Aveo.

That is the kind of exciting car Chevy needs here on the entry level. What Chassis is it on? it is a sub $20K car right?

Actually sort of cool. It would be a neat daily driver.

A real race car. The Chevy Lacetti (aka Daewoo Lacetti) is already in WTCC and this concept would be a future replacement. Maybe a toned down street version could be a future Aveo replacement here.

Re: What if............?

What if a car had wheels as large as its doors, rubber bands for tires, factory ground effects that couldn't make it over the mildest of speed bumps, and an exhaust system that backfired so violently it caused the paint on the rear left side of the car to develop severe orange peel?

I dunno... sounds like a hot wheels concept.

I reserve judgement for the real concept, but I think I will like it .

Re: What if............?

this guy from the link Guy posted did a pretty good photochop of a more realistic version of the car
