There may be a pattern here. Seems like when car companies get large, their designs tend to become rather dull.
Now American car companies are some of the largest car companies in the world, together with Toyota, and all of their recent designs tend to be uninspiring?!
Why is that?
?too much bureaucracy?
?too many designers spoiling the design?
?internal politics?

while it's nothing spectacular, the exterior can be lived with, however the interior looks like from Space 1999 scifi series...

The problem is that American car companies need to stay one step ahead, and cannot make sacrifices in advancements for profit. Conversely, American factories must become streamlined and any fat should be cut out costs-ideally the expenses are so great the factories should be outsourced and at the same time upgraded with the most efficient and progressive technology.
This car is crossover of a Chevy Cobalt/Opel Corsa/Saturn Astra/Ion-cars which are dated and have odd proportions. But to play to existing car's strength they already use 2.4l truck engines and have a tall and rigid shell (think VW beetle).
The design has premium details and the fundamental profile is morever correct.
The rear of the car falls apart however since the car looks like the Cobalt sedan in hatch form. They need to frame the liscense plate to the liftgate to properly frame the rear and give an upscale appearance.
Also I hope they bring resolution the the black camo at the C-pillar, looks like a bandaid.
