Well, the Europeans have a lot of other choices besides Korean cars. That is the context for the remark.

Very cool! I like this thing! Chevrolet is going to have a super worldwide portfolio. Bravada seems to be the only one that hates the Cruze, so it should be a big hit, along with this thing. Add to that a new Aveo (eventually) and the Beat... and not forgetting the Camaro and next Equinox, and I'm very excited about Chevrolet!

Interesting, potential HHR replacement?

Timekeeper · 09-09-2008, 09:08 AM

The "O" looks more feasible than the "G" and seems to have a more functional look about it. the "G" seems to be a half a$$ attempt at getting into the market of smaller vehicles.

Chevrolet is hoping to display its creativity in the segment with this crossover concept, as well as attempt to separate itself from a reputation among Europeans as a brand of large, unwieldy American vehicles.

Huh?

This would be the largest Chevrolet currently on sale in Europe. Chevrolet has a reputation for offering inexpensive cars from Korea, I sure hope GM does not stay 50 years behind the times when it comes to marketing research...

I like it. Will it be the replacement for the HHR?

Concept can either mean a show car for feature technologies or basically a beta version of a vehicle that is slated for production. Considering how functional the interior, I would say this is that later.

aahhh idk. kill the traverse and use this. chevy doesnt need a million vehicles that can carry 7 people. its just stupid. tahoe, suburban, traverse, rumored HHR, this thing, that minivan poeple posted spy shots of...not many people in america need 7+ seating. if they do, they already have a million GM options. what happened to good ol fashioned five seating. Look at the equinox. it has no 3rd row and its been selling just fine for a long time now.

MPVs are a cheap alternative and much smaller than full-size crossovers.

Considering that the cheap Korean cars are now dead the europeans will have to expand their horizons.

Looks great, will this replace the HHR?

I hope it gets a Turbo 1.4L.

This is clearly a hint of the next HHR and I'm very excited. I think that this will bring a lot more people into the Chevy showrooms that wouldn't have even considered the current HHR because of it's retro styling.

However, it may also turn-off many who liked the retro styling.

More than they'd think and being more fuel efficient is a plus with this one. Trust me, if you have even one child and they have friends you will end up hauling large groups of people.
