Both concepts are production feasible. If GM wants to do either one, it could be accomplished very easily.

That's interesting. The 130R grows on me the more I look at it...

In my opinion, the TRU 140S wins hands down. The CODE 130R reminds me of a bulky hard top convertible like the Mazda Miata, BMW-3 series, or Infiniti G37. They all look bad, chunky, and outdated around the C-Pillar area.

The 130 with the 2.0T in ATS would be killer.

Seriously, look past the headlights and 'single' taillights.

Both of these cars look hawt! I love them! That 140S would be a hit selling along side of the Cruze; want a four door? Cruze. Two door? 140S! Sweetness!

Small sports car? 130R! Chevy is filling out their lineup quite nicely if they can bring these two to market!

+1 Both cars look, as you said, "hawt".

Could definitely see this doing well in the compact car segment for those who want a coupe compact car, especially for us younger buyers. Really like them GM! bring them on home!

130, Awd would be sweet too. If they put a v8 in it... Oh...

I say dream big and get a 5.0 in that thing with the old 70 vette hood bulge and you have a winner. Just because Ford stuffed a 5.0 in a Mustang doesn't meean Chevy has to go that route with the Camaro. Go with something completely different, just my .02.

As a 20 year old male i love the idea of coupe based aesthetics, however, these two cars aren't really what I have in mind. The red one is just hideous looking, and the silver/white one looks like a civic mated with an r8. I like to be able to look out over the hood as opposed to my face being in the tailgate of the truck in front of me.

I honestly couldn't care less if they integrate the internet into cars, it just seems like it would create more problems. The last thing I look for when I get in a car is a jack to plug in my ipad, and i don't want to worry about paying for a virus protection program for my car.

I would much rather buy a car where I get my moneys worth in performance and comfort; I have enough computers.

Please build white 140S and put the 220hp 2.0 motor in it from the stock regal turbe and call that a Cruze Rs then offer the 270 hp gs motor and call it the cruze SS id buy one if it was around 25k and handled as well as the cobalt ss turbo.

How about a little change?

Shu71 · 01-09-2012, 04:51 PM

The second one screams Genesis Coupe to me.

The first one somehow reminds me of something from Suburu.

Both are good looking cars. I really like the profile of the second one. Maybe that is going to replace the Cobalt?

Move that B pillar back and raise the haunches/rear flairs level with the rear deck.. Put a camaro inspired snout on it and slope the roof back slightly. I think you've almost got it..
