Haha... from the side it looks just like the Mazda KUSABI concept (2003). They only put "new" wheels on it. Oh wait: not new. They were were taken from the Mazda RYUGA concept (2007).
I just don't believe it... :-(
Looks great as a concept, but will it look great when GM puts their hands on it and creates the production version? Only time will tell, lots of time like the aero-x that we have been waiting for for years.
