The thesis is an affordable roadster that would sell for about $20,000, which would be very easy to build in a flexible manufacturing environment.
Thoughts?

very nice design- pontiac just simply does't ring my bells. i'm sure that if they stick to that design it will be a hit. i always wondered about that ecotec engine...

It's an "ugly chick" but I'd still hit it.
I also like the smart roadster BRABUS...I think this is coming to the USDM.
3-cylinder suprex turbo engine (698 cc) with charge cooler
Electronic power management
softip - automated sequential 6-speed transmission
Weighing in at just 60kg
Mid engine/Rear wheel drive
