We're less than a week away from the opening days of the Detroit auto show, and GM has released two new images that could foreshadow a concept we'll see at Cobo Hall. Stashed on GM's "The Lab" blog and dubbed the GMC "Urban Utility Concept" is the crossover-like vehicle shown here.
Very little is known about the crossover, but the one image -- a line drawing that compares the profiles and seating positions of the concept, a Terrain, and, of all things, a Scion xB -- possibly reveals the most. The "UUC" is much smaller than GM's current Theta-platform crossovers, and is virtually the same size -- and shape -- as the compact xB.
Playing in the compact hatchback segment would be a new endeavor for GMC (which typically sticks to trucks, SUVs, and crossovers), but the styling, however, seems quite familiar. GM released only one image showing exterior detail, and the front fascia seems to incorporate cues from the Terrain, along with the Denali XT concept shown at the 2007 Chicago auto show.
Hopefully, we'll learn more about the "UUC" in a few days time, when we hear GM will unveil a show car in Detroit along these lines.
