Mark Reuss Keeps Pushing For Rear-Drive Small Chevy

Almost exactly one month after TTAC first broached news of a possible compact rear-drive Chevrolet, TTAC commenter and GM North America vice-president Mark Reuss is still dropping hints about such a product. Speaking to Automotive News on the prospect of a possible competitor to the Scion FR-S "A really nice, light, rear-drive car that's inexpensive — we know that rings a bell, that'd be a huge win for us if we had that." While reaction to the Code 130R was reportedly strong, Reuss said that the Code's styling would not be put into production. Apparently, the Alpha platform would not be used either, echoing earlier comments by Reuss. That would necessitate another compact, rear-drive platform like GM's former Kappa architecture, and of course, further variants to help make that venture profitable. Bring it on, GM. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
