Any comments on this new vehicle? I don't see it going on the market anytime soon, however the overall style is getting popular. GM is making a more affordable and smaller version of the Hummer...

Different. Definitely different. Any mechanical specs? Looks like an interesting concept, but the details are important too.

Not too bad. The wheels and seats could use some work in my opinion. Reminds me of a cross between a TJ and an old VW Thing

I guess the retro thing is in this year. Was reading in a car mag (forget which one) about some restyled model from a "domestic" maker this year that is a combo of retro styling and future thinking. I agree with Terry. I had the first impression of a VW thing too!! LOL Not to knock VW beetles mind you (my sisters '72 bug resides in my barn) they had some good things going, but I kinda like the flying brick styling Jeep has had for many years.
