i think its super ugly, actually.

it look more like a kia soul to me than an XB.

that interior makes me want to hide my eyes.

Everything about the vehicle is just far to busy for my taste.

How ironic that this is GM's "smallest vehicle ever" but it is still larger than any compact offering up through the 1990s, or any subcompact on the market today.

Pretty ironic. I do think it has potential but lets be real....it'll never roll out looking just as that concept and that's what the people would want. They will water it down and give it 4" wheel gap and all of the other typical GM crap. Then...what is the price and the warranty like. It's got a LONG way to go to kill the Scion.

most new cars in the US/CA market are like that these days, sadsack.

they wrote an article about that RE: honda fit in an issue of SCC i have somewhere....new fit larger than 80's or 90's civic...

its the way it goes, i guess....they keep models which, over time, get larger and larger and larger. if a nameplate works (accord, civic, corolla, sentra) they just keep making them bigger and better per revision

Man, that thing was sure hit with an ugly stick! Not that I would buy anything from Government Motors anyway, but I do wonder where it will be built? In their GM-China plant?

Just because it is small doesn't mean that the quality or gas milage will be there.

I've lost count, what is this the 5th concept car posted as a toyota/scion killer this month? I guess throw 18s or 20s on a concept compact car and you have a hit.
