The Chevy Tru 140s and Code 130R concepts from a few years ago. I was reminded of them earlier for some reason, and decided to google. Potential for some attractive fun cars...

I mean, this thing is basically a mini CTS-V Coupe

And this one would be awesome as a shooting brake

I totally dig the code 130R, and the tru 140s a bit less but still like it.

No idea what happened, I'd buy it.

Perfect BRZ/FRS competitor and it could be marked as a rear wheel drive "economy car" they are nuts for not building it

I guess they don't want to cannibalize V6 Camaro sales

One went off to Brazil to teach English as a second language..

..while the other has found love in South Africa with a girl who will meticulously wipe every piece of sand off with just a flower.

I'm pretty sure the Sonic was around before these concepts.

The Code 130R sounds like it was intended to a tweaked version of the Sonic's 1.4T engine

Which...isn't really a good thing. I love the engine, but I don't think it's enough power for this purpose especially since the biggest complaint with the BRZ is lack of power.

I really wanted them to do something with the 130R. If they made it small enough (seriously, 20" wheels... let's be real here...) I think that they could have a legitimate shot at the BRZ market. And since I seem to remember Nissan talking about getting in on it, that could really be a competitive set!
