Tornado???!!! El Camino or Brat ripoff??

Post by MACMANIAC »

I was in San Diego last week and saw one of these. In person it looks a lot better. It would be a fun grocery getter. I don't think it will make it's way north of the border.

From the back it looks ok, but the front looks like a Geo Metro to me.

Hell, I like it. But I'm just weird like that. I seriously wouldn't mind having a little trucklet type thing! I'd never own a real truck, just not manly enough to pull that sort of crap off....That's no Aveo either, it looked as if it *could* have been some sort of GMDAT thing, but I did some digging... It is the Opel Corsa Utility. http://www.reeds.co.za/special...c6988Site on the Tornado.Also sold in Brazil as the Chevrolet Montana.

Seriously, I just don't understand why people think GM is in trouble. With dynamic vehicles like that, the future is definately bright. Who cares if Subaru couldn't get the Brat to work in this country? I mean, what do they know? They only market better than anyone to the segment GM is targeting with this vehicle, right? BTW: I like how it got the Cadillac-level media exposure, what with the rusty shipping containers and weeds in the foreground. And what's with that interior? Seriously, there is no Led Zeppelin tune that could possibly save that turd. If this thing is going to enter production, I suggest they paint them orange, put a giant flaming phoenix on the hoods, and use some Spinal Tap for marketing. There is no other way...

I don't like the look of that truck aveo thing at all. From here on I'll refer to it as a truveo.
