Like the 130R concept unveiled earlier on Monday, a production version of the coupe concept would be targeted at millennial buyers and would carry a sub-$25,000 price tag.
The Tru 140S is different. It's a front-wheel-drive, two-door hatchback that seats four people and would use a turbocharged 1.4-liter engine with 150 horsepower. That sounds in line with what Hyundai's Veloster delivers in its base engine, which most people don't consider very sporting. Chevy says the Tru 140S uses the same platform as the Chevy Cruze and Volt.
Like the Veloster, Chevy projects that the Tru 140S would get 40 mpg highway. It would use stop-start technology and direct injection to obtain those figures. It would also cost in the low $20,000s while the Veloster starts well under that at $17,300.
I think the Ford Fusion/Mondeo looks stunning. Very impressed, and since Ford is using it as a global platform, I am hoping that it handles as good as the euro Ford Mondeo of years past did.
I also like the Chevy 140S, though alot of what makes me like it will likely be toned down for a production vehicle.
