A front-engine rear-drive? Like the Gurgel? cRiPpLe_rOoStEr should be pleased.

Possibly a test mule for the next generation of the Chevrolet Montana, which was renamed Tornado in Mexico. But most likely it will remain slotted within a class smaller than the Hyundai SantaCruz or the new Maverick.

The back of the car looks like a 'fail'.
Watt-guzzling drag.
We'll never achieve electrification as long as legacy carmakers continue the Paris dressmaker madness.
The day Soichiro Honda passed away, so did Honda Motors Company's moral compass.

Without numbers we're left to ponder.
The 'sketch' could have been rendered as a 3D data cloud imported into CFD, spitting out a Cd for us.
She seems to have a favorable fineness ratio compared to the MACH-E. That's where I'd have expectation of a Cd advantage, along with smaller frontal area. A more efficient use of a battery pack.

That's what I was hoping to see, but I think it was just a stock Hyundai being taken out for a spin.

Maybe car names should team up with other national brands. Drive your Chevy Taco Bell to 10% off everyday in the drive through. Drive you Ford Home Depot to instant "pro" status with special checkout lanes. Your Chrylser Costco doesn't get you any special discounts but you do get a special 2 pack of them when you buy it.

I am still hoping they come out with the Chevy Nut now that the Bolt is failed.

* Rumor has it that GM will resurrect the Saturn marque so they can offer a 'Safety Washer.'
* Lexus 'LOCTITE' ?
* Nissan 'Nyloc'
* Chrysler 'Cross-Thread' & 'Cotter-Pin'
* Shelby ' Self-Tapper', 'Screw' & 'Safety-Wire'
* Hyundai ' Hex-Head' & 'HeliCoil'
* RIVIAN 'Rivnut' & 'Rivet'
* Koenigsegg ' Knock-off '

Even though China is still the target market for models such as the new Tracker or the Onix much of their development relied on input from GM Korea, so it's no surprise they may look quite generic.

The behavior of model F be like that of E ... ?
