For some reason the Chevrolet Code 130R popped into my head today. Back in 2012 Chevy actually thought people might want to buy a small lightweight RWD sports coupe. By 2015 they had decided that people really just wanted ever larger CUVs.

I bet they would have screwed it up anyway. Corporate grill, Camaro tail lights. Knowing GM it would have ended up being FWD with a 4 speed auto by the time it was said and done.

Its windows got chopped in half and it turned into the Camaro.

Non trolly question.

Is there anyone that actually thinks that a gold bow tie looks good on any color car?

“Chevy had decided...” Because the industry wide consumer trend toward crossovers definitely happened at Chevy’s command, lol.

If that were the case, the Aztek would have saved Pontiac...

I liked seeing it in person, especially in red. The other one they debuted around the same time was the Tru 140S (wtf?)

He meant they had realized the industry trend.

Nope. black or not at all. Actually, Chevy should “Flowtie” their entire selection.

Whenever I see it, doesn’t matter what it is on, my eyes are drawn right there and my initial reaction is “ewwww”

I forgot about this. I am lamenting the lack of S-FR.

This has been brought up before. I will give the same answer as before.

The 130R was a front-engined, RWD, Alpha-platform 4-seat sports coupe with a 2.0T engine.

Remember all the rumors at the time that 130R was actually going to be the next Camaro? Yeah. That’s exactly what happened.

I hate it. My truck is all silver with a few chrome accents. The front and rear gold bow ties look like tacky jewelry.

I wish the new Camaro had that greenhouse...

I very much wanted one when I saw it. I didn’t see it ever happening with the Camaro in production though.

My favorite is dark blue on a crest, preferably with a gold V under it :)

Nevertheless, the 130R=Camaro.
