Ballsy design IMO but a bit overdone for my tastes. However this thing is 10x more exciting than the bland, boring *** Cobalt SS Supercharged. If GM toned it down a bit and maybe downsized that huge grille they'd have a winner of a hot hatch on their hands. This thing is powered by a 190hp Common Rail Diesel that puts the power down to the front wheels. The European Market Civic Type-R is still much better looking but the WTCC Ultra is a start. At least this thing shows that GM design can be ballsy every now and then and not totally staid. I say tone it down and sell it as the next Cobalt stateside.

Maybe there's hope yet for GM to get into the WRC??

bruddah_man_matt

Yah right.

Well this thing is designed in the vein of WTCC cars, not WRC cars. I think it'd be much harder for GM to take a shot at WRC than WTCC though. At least GM has some experience in road racing whereas if they tried to tackle WRC it'd probably be as **** poor as their half assed attempt to have Cadillac do battle with Audi in the LMP class at Le Mans a few years back. They'd get their *** beat by the french if they ever decided to race in WRC. Citroen and Peugeot are not to be fucked with when it comes to Rally Racing.

I really like the front end design (does need to be toned down a tad). The taillights look cool, but I just am not a fan of hatchbacks. Would make a cool rally car.

AWD!!! That is what that thing needs and a turbo. It would be sweet. Also lower it a bit.

I dont know if you were laughing at me cause I said it looks like a renault, but if you look at a renault clio I can see a resemblence(sp). About the comment asking if GM possibly owned renault I was thing about opel, and that car deffinately(sp) looks like the corsa. So excuse me for posting my opinon and asking a question. I love this site but I dislike how alot of the people on here have to hate on other people rather then just answering their question. I can understand when its a redundant question but I have never seen that question asked here before. Its not like I was asking whats the best lid to install on my car. Sorry for the rant but I fell there was no reason to point and laugh like you did. I am not trying to start anything, just making a point.

I was laughing because you suggested that GM owned Renault and well... if that were the case there's no way Renault would be the quirky avant garde company it is today. Look at how watered down (albeit way more mainstream) Saab has become since being stuffed into GMs portfolio. I wasn't making fun of you at all man so you need to just chill out and get a grip.

I would drive that. Especially if they put the new turbo 4 that comes in the Solstice GXP in it.

Not me. Too much plastic inside, and the body kit looks ridiculous as well.

I think it looks like a pretty cool little racecar. Don't know about the specs, but an AWD and the new LNF motor in the new Sky roadster that thing would be majorly bad ***.

Now that is the kind of exciting car that Chevrolet needs to start building. I'm sure if they built that car with an option of FWD or AWD, turbo or non-turbo engines, they would sell a million of them. Of course the interior SERIOUSLY needs work to make it a suitable street car, but that goes without saying. I would buy one. We need a NEW Chevrolet... screw the evolution of the old Chevy into what it is today, I want new and exciting products.

I want to see the new Impala done by THAT team of designers. It'll make the Altima look boring again.

it reminds me of those Photoshops people do where they srunch their cars together, and the wheels are all huge and the car is really tiny.

i dont think it will go into production
