GM builds a BMW 1-Series Coupe
Joshua Dowling January 10, 2012 - 8:31AM Chevrolet's Code130R strongly resembles a BMW 1-Series Coupe. Chevrolet has cracked someone else's code: turbo + rear-wheel-drive = fun. If you think the Code130R looks like a BMW 1-Series Coupe, you'd be right. It's the most blatant rip-off since you could buy a Tag-Hauer in a Chinese alley. And if General Motors thinks the name of its latest concept car is some kind of hidden code, it better not take up poker anytime soon: it even borrowed the '130' digits from BMW, but found the decency to leave behind the lower case 'i'. Underneath the curved, BMW-like hips is the same framework as the new Cadillac ATS sedan, also unveiled at the Detroit show overnight. Chevrolet Code130R has certain BMW 1-Series Coupe look to it. Translated this means that the Code130R is based on a premium architecture that means it will probably be pretty good, but also pretty expensive. As with the Cadillac ATS this concept is powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine. And, as with the Cadillac ATS, it's unlikely for Australia, as all of GM's cool, hi-po rear-drive cars are.

I'd like to see it go into production - but with an all-new top hat, that looks just... too old.

Ugly yes. But definitely has a masculine look about it when compared to the lady-boy looks of the BMW counterpart!

Ooof. That's one ugly car. Looks like they grabbed some of the lines from the Hyundai Coupe.

Isn't that a person who adorns themselves with things on their outside to look like something they are not, surgically changes parts so they look the the parts of something they they are not but does not change the most important part (maybe because their missus says so)? Yep....I can see where you got that idea....... |

They have done 2 concepts, the other one looks so much better it isn't funny. But the good looking ones FWD, and the ugly as a hatful one is RWD. Switch them please GM. Problem is they both use a 110 kw version of the Cruze 1.4 turbo. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ |

Looks like a reborn (out the wrong hole) Pontiac Solstice, the Toyota FT-86 should eat this for sales.

This is the Cruze Concept
The Chevrolet Tru 140S concept has been unveiled at the 2012 Detroit motor show. The sleek coupe is based on the Cruze small car platform and Chevrolet says it has been designed to appeal to the next generation of new-car buyers.
