2012 Chevrolet Code 130R<\/h1>\n
\n

DETROIT \u2013 Chevrolet today introduced two concept coupes at the 2012 North American International Auto Show aimed at inspiring next-generation buyers to take the wheel and suggest ideas for a car they can co-create.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cChevrolet has always stood for making the aspirational attainable for all generations\u201d said General Motors North America President Mark Reuss. \u201cThese two concepts interpret that vision for a new generation. We\u2019re seeking out our newest customers\u2019 opinions, listening to their advice, and engaging them in new ways.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to U.S. Census data, there are 80 million American consumers approaching 30. They represent 40 percent of today\u2019s potential car-buying public and a combined $1 trillion in purchasing power.<\/p>\n

Over the past year, Chevrolet has conversed with young consumers across the United States. Based on their feedback, the Chevrolet concepts explore the styling and functionality this group of new buyers says they are looking for in a car.<\/p>\n

Code 130R, the first Chevrolet concept, is a four-seat coupe with a simple upright profile. Painted in an all-new red metallic paint with matte anodized gold wheels, Code 130R features heritage performance-inspired styling and rear-wheel drive. With an aggressive front fascia, Chevrolet fender flares, straight body side and Chevy crossflag emblem, Code 130R makes a link to Chevrolet\u2019s performance heritage.<\/p>\n

Code 130R\u2019s designers conceived the turbocharged engine to be tuned to work in tandem with eAssist technology. By shutting off the engine at stops, recapturing braking energy, and smoothing torque during acceleration, this concept takes automotive electrification to the next level and balances turbocharged performance with fuel economy.<\/p>\n

Tru 140S, the second Chevrolet concept is a front-wheel-drive, \u201caffordable exotic\u201d four-seat sporty coupe. The three-door hatchback was designed to be an attractive-yet-affordable sports car. Shown in an all-new matte white with Chevy performance chrome wheels featuring crossflag emblems, Tru 140S is designed to look confident, exotic, expensive and fast. Tru 140S is based off the same platform as the Chevrolet Cruze and the groundbreaking Chevrolet Volt electric vehicle with extended range.<\/p>\n

Tru 140S designers want to demonstrate technologies typically found in more expensive cars, including direct injection and a starter-based stop-start technology, balancing internal combustion and electrification to deliver high value and improved fuel economy.<\/p>\n

The concepts share attributes younger buyers say they value:<\/p>\n

Sedan-sized functionality in performance coupe form that seats four passengers
\nInterior connectivity and convenience featuring innovative storage, WiFi, smart phone integration with Chevrolet MyLink and heads-up display
\n40 MPG with a 1.4L Turbo Ecotec engine with approximately 150 horsepower
\nPossible production price range in the low $20,000s<\/p>\n

\u201cYoung customers tell us they want functionality with coupe-like aesthetics. Both the Code and Tru body styles resonated with this audience,\u201d said Frank Saucedo, director of the GM North America Advanced Design studio in Los Angeles where the two concepts were developed.<\/p>\n

Inside the concepts, connectivity and personalization enable the individualization that the generation says is essential.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis buyer prizes connectivity. Allowing them to stay connected by integrating their personal devices through MyLink and WiFi enabling the vehicle to be their own docking station,\u201d said Saucedo. \u201cThe interiors currently exist in 2D only. This allows us the flexibility to continue the discussion and encourage more dialogue as we continue to develop these concepts.\u201d<\/p>\n

From Detroit, the pair of Chevrolet concepts will travel to major auto shows, key lifestyle events, one-on-one experiences and other venues such as college campuses. Chevrolet also will engage customers using the social media tools that young consumers use to talk with one another.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the car company that can successfully engage this generation, there is a tremendous opportunity,\u201d said John McFarland, senior manager for Chevrolet Global Marketing, who heads youth research for the brand. \u201cAt Chevrolet, we want to build authentic and meaningful relationships with these customers on their terms. We want to hear what they have to say, engage them in our design process, and give them what they want \u2013 not what we think they want.\u201d<\/p>\n
