1.2L turbo eh?
Kinda cool.
We’ll be seeing more of these if gas continues to stay high and/or climb higher.

I’ll take a Jetta TDI that gets 50mpg and is a normal car.
Why are there no Diesels in the US. f

Chevy will never have money until they break the over payed unions.
Then they can charge a realistic ammount for a car, and make some money.
Either way that car looks much better than a cobalt.

I totally agree, no offense to anyone here, or your parents that may have worked for GM, there is NO unskilled labor that deserves 40$+ an hour, plus amazing retirement benefits, in addition to great healthcare. Teachers and those posessing MBA’s barely make that…why should someone working on an assembly line make that!?..its been like that since the 70’s~

It’s cool, but the Mazda 2/Ford Fiesta is better…No idea what the Ford will look like but it will likely be similar, and here in 2009.
The disguised prototypes look like they have the same lines…
