@chevtothemax I agree about the design. The body changes would be very easy to make, though. Given GM’s newfound design prowess, I estimate 1-2 months in the design studio from start to finish.

The design would incorporate some traditional Chevy styling techniques and I would place some emphasis on some Sonic cues as well.

This would make for a great competitor to the Kia Soul and the Scion range of tall boxes. The Orlando is more of a family vehicle — especially with its 3 rows. This would be a more youthful tall hatch.

The Strobe nameplate would fit well on this car and its target demographic. GM already owns the trademark:
