@Brian_E Yes, the Granite was going to ride on a modified Delta II platform. It was meant for a young buyer who may have also been looking at something like a Scion xB/xD or Honda Element. The Granite, however, would bring more class and a less cartoonish design.
I don’t see a reason why it can’t be a Chevy — and be offerred with the same attributes/advantages as the Granite under the Chevy brand. If Chevy is really a full-line automaker, then the Granite belongs under the bow tie.
That said, I don’t think it would have cost any more being a GMC than it would a Chevy. I’d say give it a starting price in the $18,000-$20,000.
