Does anybody know ? Are they greenlighting this car through the develoment process the way they did the GMT-900's two years ago ?
I have wondered about this also. My guess is, those disguised prototypes we assumed was the next Cobalt was this new car. Although in the pictures the car does not look smaller than a Cobalt. How flexible is the Delta platform? Can the wheelbase be shrunk? Is this new car on Delta II? Many questions.
