    Be interesting to see how much the replacement for the Compass/Patriot will look like the US replacement version. I thought this year some time they would show off the replacement version here in the US. The smaller version below the Renegade would be a true competitor to the Mini. I would think Jeep would want that here also.

    This would be good for VW, they need to figure out how to crack the nut of the US market and get their sales going other than to the 60's era make love not war peeps. They clearly are not firing on all cylinders yet.

    The asian interiors are just cut up mess for me. The Audio interior has two strikes against it. 1) The stupid Floating Nave screen. This screams after thought to me. Audi and MB both have left plenty of what I consider after thoughts in their interiors. What is so hard about building the nav system into the dash? 2) Is this the current interior for real? This screams 1980 to me. A very dated look.

    Around here in Seattle plenty of Horror stories about the 500. Mostly a lemon from the first day of purchase. Around Seattle you can find plenty of used Fiat 500 all with milage below 10K for around 10K in price and if you go to the 500L you can find them below 10K around the 12-15K price. You have to ask when you see so many low mileage cars priced so low. What is the common denominator. Clicked on a few that had free carfax reports and the one thing I noticed is they all spent considerable time in the shop being repaired. Not good for reliability. Balthazar the pic loads for me but is a black pick with faint white outline of the auto.

    So this concept would be an auto focused on those under 5'10" tall? This is the UK answer to population control if they build it. I doubt they can have people drive it and survive. Better to not waste money on such a small auto for the US market. They should instead focus on Hybrid's, EV, CNG, Many other options better than this little thing.

    It would seem on initial go over that Abarth put quality into the auto that Fiat clearly is lacking. Now to see just how long these last. A coworker has one of these at work and at 27K miles it is shooting blue smoke. He as an appointment to go into the dealership about the blue smoke.

    Love the flowing simplistic dash design and controls. Exterior is OK since we really cannot see how it looks yet. But I like this clean flowing dash and like Balthazar states, nice to see more luxury companies doing a flowing dash compared to the compartmentalized chopped up dash that Lexus, Infinity and Acura seem to have gone with. That is just ugly.

    2500HD needs to come to the Population but with the Baby V8 Duramax Diesel or at least with the option of pure CNG. This is just dragging out the inevitable that we will have it on the lots. Plenty of people want a 2500HD for towing their trailers and boats with people. If they are not sure about all lines then make the 2500HD a Yukon XL Denali edition only with Diesel. That would be very profitable for them. WAKE UP GM!

    Is it my eyes or is that cobalt much smaller than the US Cobalt? Talk about disappointing looking car. Looks like a subcompact rather than a compact.

    Loving It! Keeping the lineup fresh!

    You keep trying to fit everything into the German cookie cutter machine. WHO CARES! If this is between the A8 & 7 series and sell's well in the 70 - 80K range then they found a sweet spot and I doubt it will be only competing with the Equus.

    Thanks Drew, WOW tight, Tiny and very Prius looking.

    I would say Putin is getting his wish to go full Communism again as their supreme dictator. No reason to build auto's there when you cannot get the profits out or have to pay crazy pay off amounts. Too corrupt for bottom cars so might as well sell the high end models with decent profits.

    What little I can see of the black one reminds me of a Mazda nose with the big mouth grill.

    I agree, that HUD is a safety feature GM should have on all models and market the hell out of!

    Have to say this is a Sharp little Pickup. I like the style for this Car based Pickup. As I have said on the Canyon / Colorado threads, GM missed the opportunity to build a true Mini Pickup and run with it. Now it looks like Hyundia just might do it. Do not get me wrong the new Canyon / Colorado are awesome rides for a Mid Size truck. I still think many people want a mini pickup for their Inner City living or suburban living with Home Depot runs on the weekend. Sharp Looking side profile!

    LOL, There is a continual loss on a lousy product line. I would take a Chrysler product over any Fiat or Alfa product. It is understandable as UK is a much smaller place so having big auto's is not going to sell well anyway. Be interesting to see how long any of the Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram products stay in Europe.

    Not happy with the dropping of the Cruze Diesel. GM has yet to fully clean their ranks of stupid Executives and dump the lousy marketing to cover better alternative fuels. I know somewhere in the Ivory Towers of GM idiots are saying "See we told you America would not buy Diesels and we wasted money" Yet reality is if they had invested in marketing and telling the story about Diesel, CNG, etc they could have much better sales. Average people rarely hear about these things till too late and this is again another one that is a lost good cause as Diesel Cruze owners for the most part are pretty happy.

    Cool, I always loved the Suburban 2500 and missed my chance to trade in and buy a Suburban with the 454. Then later missed again due to other family needs mostly kids going to college to get an HD. I hope they due a full 2500HD package and prep it for an upcoming Duramax Baby v8 Diesel. I still believe that this is a segment that many would jump on if they could buy a diesel Suburban stock from GM. This also makes me wonder what the current GM Diesel Family looks like today and possibly into the Future. I know this was talked about in 2010.

    I disagree with this statement. Two very different type of buyers.

    Interesting, wonder how bright it is?
