One of Chevy's new crossover cute-utes? Looks small enough to replace the Tracker.

[13092]

Looks like the S3X concept or whatever it is called. Looks pretty good!

[Northstar]

I don't think the S3X is coming here. It's for Europe only (and maybe other parts of the world besides N.A. too).

[BuddyP]

Is that a Pontiac Vibe?

[Northstar]

No, it's the production version of the Chevrolet S3X concept, but it won't be coming to the US.

[ToniCipriani]

I'd do a better camo'ing job than that. It's SO obvious that it's a Chevy.

[BuddyP]

Just looks like a chevy verison of the vibe

That would be it.

I like the front but I think the sides are a little too close to the MB R Class.

[BlkHhr104]

I was thinkg 06 Grand Vitara

[turbo200]

isn't the vue getting redesigned for 08?

[Variance]

Looks kind of Infiniti FX-ish. Damn it, why does Europe always good get the good stuff?

[4gm]

I'm really ticked off the S3X isn't coming to America. It has huge hit seller written all over it. I don't understand GM sometimes.

[Northstar]

I could be wrong, but I think Opel is getting a different version of the S3X... and if the S3X is a Chevy in Europe, that means the Opel will be even nicer, and the Opel will (I believe) become a Saturn here.

[4gm]

Evok said it woulndn't be coming to the U.S. not long before the forum crashed.

This is what I'd heard, too. But I'll defer to Evok, who I'm sure knows more than us...

So you're telling me I have to move to Europe to get this sweet ass sport ute?? WTF is GM doing to itself?? Can I at least hope for an 08-09 replacement of the Equinox along the same looks?

Americans like obesity...that's why GM is spending zillions on new giant GMT-900 SUVs and not on compact SUVs... :)

[SingleStylish]

This is the same vehicle that was under heavy camo in the US and labled by many as the "new" Vue. If you remember the interior identically memicked the S3X. I have my own curiousity as to why it was here in the US in front of a Michigan Macarroni Grill only 6 short months ago... This is obviously a Chevy made for europe but, there must be some possibility of it coming here as a product too or it wouldn't have been here in three's in MI testing.

[91z4me]

The S3X isn't for NA, but for Europe and Asia and the next Vue doesn't look like it at all.

[post="4373"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post]

How about the T2X or something like it??? ^_^

[chevyhhr]

I love the hhr but just a bit underpowered for my lead foot...I wish GM would bring this to American soil!

[BuddyP]

That is sharp looking! VERY sharp looking. Why all the bland designs for the US??? I could see that parked in my driveway... you'll never see a Equinox parked in my driveway. What do you think about that GM?

[4gm]

Ah-Ha, does the next gen VUE look better or worse than the SX3?

[El Scorcho]

I love it, even though it's very Mercedes. Kill the Torrent and bring this over!!

[pow]

I don't see room for it, especially since Suzuki has their own new Vitara now.
