Well keep in mind though that lately a lot of GM concepts have been pretty close to production... This one is a bit wild though, but you never know!

That is the key for me I'm not a minivan, suv or sedan kind of driver and no longer desire a coupe, which is why I went with the HHR. I plan on holding on to the HHR for a while..but dare I say it and sound like a traitor to the HHR nation...to ask what should not be asked -"gasp...shudder" throwing salt over my shoulder - what would replace it?

That said I like the Granite, w/o the suicide doors... but did I already confess that before getting the HHR I was looking at not only the PT, but the Toaster box....the XB

Pull your HHR up to a second gen xB. Our vehicles are quite a bit closer in size than you think.

I'll weigh in again and say that I really do like the looks of it. It will be very interesting to see what size it really comes in at, and what the final version will look like. I like the suicide doors, but they'll never happen. Can you imagine someone realizing the back door isn't quite closed at 60 mph and they open it to give it a good hard close? Wooosh, there goes the door down the road.

I had a 05 xB & liked it. Not as a long trip car but for a DD it was fun, lots of room for a old fat guy. With the seat down the stuff that I could put in that car would make folks smile...

They look cool, but a total pain. Just ask Element owners.

It'd be the same as the Silverado extended cabs... Not too unrealistic really.

It may like like a toaster oven but it does look pretty good in a toga
