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
