Default GM considering an XB fighter



and they've designed it after a cartoon clownfish... I so hope that the drivers side view mirror is larger then the passenger side like some vehicles from the 80's-early 90's. Someone definitely needs to do a nemo photoshop though.

Actually all kidding aside I like it, it’s more xb then the 2nd generation xb is. With the first gen being discontinued there is a void in the market of cool, hip, funky styled cube. If it has any sort of pleasant driving dynamics it’d be a hit.

GM needs a cult car, it's really what they lack. They killed saabs cult appeal (although the sabbaru has some) and they may be gaining some with the soltice/sky twins. I think they've been trying though though the SSR flopped, the HHR is a little too PT cruiser to differentiate itself (and the rear legroom is terrible for it's size). The SS S/C cobalt and ion redline may have been if mopar hadn't beaten them to the punch with the SRT4 and the GTO had the drivetrain and interior but the exterior screamed enterprise fleet material.

No wonder GM is almost bankrupt.

My goodness, headlights sitting higher than even the xB and no trunk space? From the side, it looks almost like a chubbier, younger brother of the Jeep Liberty or something.

I'd take that Beat over a Yaris any day, but it needs 2 more doors. Since its called 'Beat', i'm sure Honda will be all over GM's asses in court in no time...
