I cant say where, but Ive heard news from a very reliable source that GM has started development on a "Premium" small car project. Its likely that these journalists only saw a few preliminary sketches of the concept, meaning that the whole thing is still up in the air. It makes sense that they would put it up against the Mini. Thats the closest thing to a premium small car available right now. But I think we can expect GM to try and 1up the Mini, rather than undercut it. It therefor makes more sense that it will come out of the Saab brand rather than Saturn. But I wouldnt rule out the possibility of it being a Cadillac either.

If it looks anything like the sketch, that would be a very sharp looking small car. Basing it on the RWD Kappa platform would be fantastic... I have been waiting for quite some time for a coupe r hatch version of the Sky convertible... more room, less weight and a price starting around $20k. Saab should also get a version of it to help pay for development costs. |
