2012 Chevrolet Code 130R and Tru 140S Concepts
Chevrolet has already show these two cars designed for young people at the Detroit Motor Show in January. They spell the return of the cross flag logo as a sort of performance brand and are aimed at Gen Y buyers.
The Code 130R is a rear-wheel drive four-seat coupe with looks borrowed from the Camaro, while the Tru 140S looks like a future Opel Astra Coupe but with futuristic lights and grille.

Chevrolet calls the Tru 140S a an “affordable exotic”, a 2+2 coupe with front-wheel drive that makes a number of sacrifices in order to look good. Meanwhile, the 130R is powered by a 1.4-liter Turbo Ecotec engine featuring GM's eAssist micro-hybrid technology and sends its power to the rear.

In order to attract customers, Chevrolet wants to price both of these cars in the low $20,000 in the US, meaning they could be sold in Europe for about

Apparently, the two cars are actually designed by a couple of British men, Nicholas David and Joe Baker from GM's North Hollywood Design Center, who will be attending Geneva to explain the reasoning behind these cars.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
