What is this? A cool-looking and possibly fun hatchback by Chevrolet? What do you think of the WTCC concept? We think its good enough to be Chevy's European halo vehicle, much like the Camaro will be here. Build it and make it fast!  

First off, why the hell is Chevrolet trying to market cars in Europe? Hasn't GM figured out that too many brands in one market, all made by the same company won't work in the long run? Shouldn't Opel be marketing a cool new sporty hatchback in Europe?  Dumb question, they obiously haven't since they already have five or six brands too many in the American market. Second, this car is ugly! It looks like a something from a cartoon. That front end is hideous. Way too much going on up there. And what video game did they get that rear wing from? They couldn't have tacked on a more out of place styling element if they tried. Well, it is GM so maybe they did. Wake up GM! The idea was sound, the execution poorly thought out. Make it an Opel, clean up the front end, and get ride of that FATF wing!  

GM has been a day late and a dollar short since 1983. With the exception of the Corvette, the new Cadillacs, and the Solstice/Sky, GM has been to styling what flea markets are to high-end luxury retail shopping.

The new Camaro is promising, and this car, in my opinion, looks amazing. If Chevrolet wants to step it up domestically they'll build this yesterday and use it to replace the Cobalt.

Cut your losses already. Stop building hundreds of thousands of cars that nobody wants. As Nissan has demonstrated, a company can be turned around thanks in large-part to styling and design. This concept is a giant leap in that direction.

It looks like a mini Camaro on steroids. With the right power/performance this car could be huge for GM. GM has an opportunity to hook younger car buyers in the US with this car. Everybody in the aftermarket is suping up the Ecotec i.e. 300+HP. Why not GM? Chrysler does it direct from the factory with their SRT4.

Go ahead GM, build an import beater that's accessible to the masses and they'll bite. But offer it to the masses (i.e. US market).
