GM still studying RWD Chevrolet Code 130R coupe concept as a production prospect.

I say to GM: Give it 4 doors, RWD and build it. I don't care if it has the 1.4L turbo but it must have RWD and 4 doors.

 

eww just put a v8 in a cruze with a rwd system

 

if they built a v8 cruze wagon RWD with a manual box, I would definitely go for one

for some reason those concept pics are making me think of either
a) rx8
b) the movie Cars

 

Aarrgggg

Aaarrrrrggggggggg

My eyes, they're burning

If that is for real and those pictures are what the concept looks like....leave it be, don't ruin the torana by making that thing.

 

This is going to be like the Monaro again, but worse. You can't remake a classic.

 

it sort of reminds me of a cadlilac

 

Aargh no, you didn't just ruin cadillac for me!

Reminds me of a Toyota 86 / Subaru BRZ / Scion FR-S at the front, BMW M1 / 130 elsewhere.
Based on the Cadillac's Alpha platform it is literally a shoe-in for the 410hp twin turbo v-six, like Wheels mag covered a year ago.
Worthy of the Torana badge? http://www.leftlanenews.com/gm-hints-production-code-130r-could-be-in-the-works.html

 

Where does it say anything about a V6?

This thing will be a 4 cylinder (if it goes ahead).

...And the red one is hideous (silver one in your first link is much nicer)..

Front cover of Wheels magazine July last year, the fact it is a Cadillac platform and the V6 is slated for that, and in several reports in this thread

You're right, not now but a bit more likely than the TT36 design was on the Zeta (VE).

 

can only hope they make a RWD medium sized car, but it does say they are going to make a 4cyl camaro? thats almost as bad a as V6 monaro

 

Mate I don't care what they call it, prefer not a rebirthing thing myself.
But there is definitely a spark of possibility at GM for two door Bimmer killer using this:


Twin turbo, direct injection, lightweight, VVT with scalable performance like nothing we've seen yet:



Not that conventional in design...



Frankly I don't care what they call it!!

 

Haha! True dat.

 

Yep, its definitely a top mount cooler.
Was mentioned a few times in articles I've come across.
