That is no doubt a new design exercise. Wonder if they'll bother building it?

Though GM did not make clear what production chassis, if it even is production-based, underpins the Code 130R concept, but since several GM insiders told GM Inside News that both the Code 130R and the Tru 140S concepts were designed with production in mind, it’s likely that this car has the new Alpha platform in there somewhere. That’s the same platform that underpins the all-new Cadillac ATS, and it seems to be both small and light.

Cool that GMs considering introducing a RWD sports compact but seems weird that Chevy would offer a compact that might cannibalize sales from the FWD, Cruze compact? The Cruze is 181 long vs Code 130R at 173 long (8inches).
