I think the hatchback works nicely, a trunk wouldn't fit the bill on this car. The BMW M Coupe is alot like this car, and it's gorgeous...to me anyway.

Since this is a unique niche vehicle, the very European flair of this coupe might do wonders for attracting new buyers. God knows that nobody was cross-shopping the Sunfire with anything upscale or European, this car will be considered by people that might first look overseas.

I will say from the pics it needs to be lowered about 2" minimum....I thought it was a new crossover SUV at the glance, holy off roader batman!! Looks like a two door FX45.

I dunno that trunk looks like the cockpit from my son's lego starwars ship. This car should have been a direct competitor with the BMW Z series or the Miata.

Now it will have to fight the RX330.

Vette? RX7? Z350? Its a 2 Dr 2 seater coupe hardtop, what else could it be and not be a tremendous ergonomic mess and look weird?

4 Chevy Cars for NAIAS would be
Equinox
Cruze
Orlando
Volt since Volt was shown in Paris, not Detroit.
Camaro will also be there, dur.

Solstice Targa is a hot looking car, no doubt, but if you are a big guy or gal, and dont like small spaces...might want to look elsewhere.
