the 1.2L engine? Or will they come up with a bigger engine for the U.S. market? Perhaps they will borrow from their Daewoo subsidiary?
 
Consumer Reports mentions a 93-inch wheelbase, which is exactly the same length as my Echo:

This could be the first Chevy with truly class-leading fuel economy. It sure does have a big face for such a small car though.
 
Road and Track is speculating it will receive a 1.6L EcoTec engine, which of course will be overkill for such a small car and drive down the fuel economy. They are also expecting a starting price of around $14K:

...better in real life. "Design by committee" at it's worst.
 
As someone said on a different forum, reminiscent of the Aztek, right down to the hideous green.
 
I'm a GM fan [and owner], but if this is where the company is headed, the US taxpayer's bailout money is being pissed down the drain.
 
 Hope I'm wrong.
