chevy 130r concept - Page 2

greenrail · 01-09-2012, 04:46 PM

I honestly don't know what to think. Just doesn't have the drama the Camaro had when it as unveiled. To make matters worse, the other concept car Tru 140S - Looks like a rehashed Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Goodness, where has the flare for some drama and originality gone. Not every car in the lineup has to have the Malibu Style Front Fascia.

THese are my personal thoughts... No one else to take to task but me. I have too high expectatons.

I can't wait to see it slammed with a huge wing. Stickers would be an excellent final touch.

Looks Mazda inspired to me.

why don't they just leave the styling cues of the camaro for the camaro insted of pushing it on every other car design. Ugh!

I think it's a good formula...GM could use a small rear-drive coupe again. It's got a host of visual cues going on...Mazda, BMW, new Camaro, and...it's got something old-school Chevy going on with it too. There are little hints of the Bel Air, Corvair, and Nomad going on.

The boxiness seems to lend itself to the days of when cars like the Cavalier mimicked some of the angular shapes and proportions of cars like the Camaro and Corvette. It's also using some very modern design language with those same edges. Automotive design has a way of repeating itself in new and exciting ways.

Here's the Eclipse lookalike 140s

CamaroC-17 · 01-10-2012, 12:36 AM

It is called the Code I30R
I think a lot of it besides the front resembles parts of the camaro

MODS could you correct my spelling of "camaro" in the title please.

If a Camaro and a Mini Cooper had a baby, that's what I'd imagine it to look like. No me gusta.

PLuche · 01-10-2012, 12:41 AM

That has BMW 130i written all over it

Your taste is impeccable!

If I remember correctly, this car is based off the Alpha chassis. This is used on the Cadillac ATS and rumor says the 6th gen Camaro will have it too. Could this concept car be similar to the 6th gen in design?

ParisTNDude · 01-10-2012, 01:21 AM

Rear wheel drive as well. This would be an awesome car with a turbo 2.2/2.4 4 cylinder or what about the 5.5 liter direct injection LS engine...whooo, hooo. Looks like the makings of a Z28 to me!!!
