GM/GMDAT's new global compact sedan...

Its built on the same GM Delta II platform as the upcoming Opel Astra.

Nice dashboard!

The dash looks like a miniaturized dash of the new Honda Accord...

Hmmm... mejo nga except for the aircon vents at the center. How i wish it would be released here as exactly as how it looked on that picture. And hopefully there would be 1.6L or 1.8L variants just like the latest optra.

One of the engines that could find its way into this car is GM's 1.4 liter Turbocharged inline-4 which is capable of 120 to 140 hp and 40 mpg on the highway.

I'm just not sure if this will be available in the ASEAN spec models... we'll probably find out in a few more months.
The other possible option I guess is the 1.6 liter Ecotec with Dual Continuous Variable Cam Phasing currently used by the 2009 USDM Aveo 5 and Daewoo Gentra X.

Thanks for the Picture Post. The car looks very nice on the outside. Come to think of it, the inside looks nice, too except for one thing. In the last pic showing the driver seat, unless that seat has been pulled forward, it looks too cramped. Hopefully, GM won't do the same as what Toyota is doing. I am a big person and I like to drive in comfort ( which is why I prefer american to japanese ). Forget about fuel consumption. 10km/L is good enough for me. When you are my age, you don't give up comfort, you pay for it. Which is why I bought my 04. Very comfy.
