^Well said... but it seems the answer to every car is to throw the biggest wheels the arches can take on them. Looks naff.

good news is there's still plenty of time for feedback to come in and help influence the design of a potential production model. after looking at this car for a bit it reminds me a lot of a stock car than anything. while that's good for Chevy's heritage i'm not sure most people will find that too flattering outside of NASCAR fans.

I would choose this over the tru140s since i like the shape of the 1series bmw and this is rear wheel drive. So im hoping nissan and the others will follow suit with small rear wheel drive cars.

Make it a notchback and the 130 would be a car I'd consider if I haven't myself a BRZ yet.

Bloated front. They could have done better than this.

Meh, the 130 doesn't do anything for me, not all that impressed with the styling. The 140 doesn't look half bad, but I'm not in the market for a FWD car.

The 140 needs to be RWD and the 130 needs to be scrapped.

That would make for an awesome spec series!! B-spec racers would fall to the wayside

Goodness that is one ugly car. Usually concepts have nice lines that will not work on the production. This car starts with ugly lines so I cant wait to see what the production car looks like. I can understand if this was there bargain basement model but this car is supposed to compete with some decent competition. I would much rather have a gen coupe than this car any day.
