Finally amazing concepts are coming from GM. Kind of looks like an urban concept though, I wonder if it will even come with awd? Looks like an amazing future car. Kind of sucks that it only has a 1.4L, I hope that will leave everything else when it comes into production form and upgrade the 1.4

No it doesn't. I mean it looks as if it was inspired by this little segment of crossovers, but it looks like GM fixed everything that's wrong with the xb. At least it doesn't look like an ugly ass toolbox with wheels.
Also... it's kind of like toyota started a small segment of ugly ass toolbox looking crossovers with wheels. Honda, nissan and kia followed suit. All of those look like rip offs of one another. The granite is set apart from those. |

Ok its official; GM needs to stop hiring 19 yr old kids to save money.
Bring back anyone over 30 that use to design for them, run by those over 50. |

Anyway, the front needs work. Not sure if the brown works with the other colors in the interior. Despite that though, love the seats. I wonder if they're comfy.

Put a bowtie on it and I wont care but thats not a direction GMC needs to go any further with.
GMC is professional grade trucks, men in work shirts n work boots, a dog sitting in the pass seat, shovles n ladders, welders n tanks............... Not urban yuppie techno trucks, neon n strobes, wifi n mp3, dvd n games, raves n clubbin.................. |

Looks Like GMC's equivalent of the Chevy HHR.
Personally.. I hate it.

While I really don't like box cars at all, that looks sharp enough that I'm sure it'll steal some sales from Scion's xB if they can keep the price tag low enough.

It's nice to see GM going after younger customers, they need to build up a younger customer base.

Why would you not want to appeal to younger people? It's just a concept and firing the young people to make sure the designs stay 'older' sounds like a good way to turn GMC into Oldsmobile.
As far as looking like an Xb. The Xb is a really space efficient vehicle. There's only so much you can do with that shape and retain the small interior/large interior relationship. |

Thats backwards, the Alero killed Olds and it was just like above, a to far modern design above n beyond its typical customers base.
