I like the TRU 140S but not the top one.

The first one (130) reminds me of an RX8, and the second one (140) reminds me of a Civic, if they built it manly. Although much, much better looking!

The top one reminds me of a BMW 1 series. I like them both actually...although the second car seems aimed at the Mitsubishi Eclipse - I guess I see a little Civic in there as well.

The first one is rear wheel drive. Slap the 2.0T that's in the ATS and it could be fast

the 130r concept takes a lot of cues from the mini coupe and the 1 series BMW

I just noticed something as well... does anybody else see it? Or is it just me? Similar, yet distinctly different!

The silver one reminds me of the newer Mitsubishi eclispe, and the red ones door glass and roof remind me of the 2 door neon door glass and roof. But I love the red once,id drive it if they left it just like that

Code 130R: Stretch the hood, door, give the rear glass a more fast back look rather than the semi-notch back feel and shoehorn the gen V V8 in an SS trim. 6th Gen Camaro. It has Camaro potential in what lines there are already.
OR leave it as is and drop it on the Subie/Toyota/Scion FT triplets. TRU 140S: Kill it. Kill it or kill the Sonic in the next cycle (as much as I hate to say that) Two FWD cars in the same segment is no bueno... not to mention the styling is just wrong. EDIT: 130R in person. Holy balls the CGI renderings just don't do this thing justice! Meanwhile the 140s? Last edited by Zabo; 01-09-2012 at 10:00 AM. |

The 140S is on the Delta-II platform with Cruze, not Sonic.
