Kind of a Mini Cooper crossed with a Scion. It is a little larger than it looks but has a sporty element to it with the low ride and large wheels.

They might have something if they have a turbo package.

Personally, I like it (but with a 2.0L DI Turbo, not a 1.4L) judging from the comments here it would be wise for GM to do some detailed consumer surveys prior to committing to production.

They are and they are reading web sites. I think the false start on the production was a way to get people talking. GM is very web active. They are even here.

Do not underestimate the 1.4 Turbo till you have driven one. With the six speed and gearing it will be better than you think.

The Nox with the 2.4 is a shocker at how well it runs with the better gearing and six gears. It performs better in a heavy Nox vs the lighter HHR with the 4 speed auto.

I think with Mark Reuss running things we will see more of this up front approach.

I don't like it. I seen the picture and was like "UHHH UBBER UGLY" I guess that is just my opinion though.

I like it. I was gonna get an XB before I got my SS cause I liked the more modern styling of it. However by the time I built the scion to be anywhere near the build level of my SS I was several grand more expensive. If they make a preformance version of the granite I'll be trading.
