I agree, even if they made it about 50% smaller, it would be quite an improvement.

Pros: Comfortable ride, practical innovative seating, spacious, strong diesel engine
Cons:  Poor visibility, gutless petrol engine, unwieldy parcel shelf, poor residuals

Funny,that was my first thought when I saw the photo. The Chevy "bowtie" is waaay to big on this vehicle.

Despite what appears to be excessively negative summary points noted above, if you take th etime to read the full review they offer it is actually a very positive one. As for the residuals, since the car is not even on sale here yet that is a ridiculous statement.

^ Well it's not like GM is known for it's great residuals.  Not much of a leap to say this one will have poor residuals as well.
