For once, I think GM has got it right. They blatantly ripped off designs from Toyota and Honda, but at least they're on the right track. Plus, one of them uses a small diesel engine much like those used in European cars that get 45+ mpg. Hopefully at least a couple of these concepts will make it to market instead of another dinosaur of an SUV, and give American auto manufacturers a fighting chance.

However, when the time came to conceptualize smaller vehicles, the company that created some iconic American vehicles headed overseas for fresh ideas.

" a designing team that's in Korea. They understand that market much better than I do," said Welbourne.

"In North America," Welburn continued, "the team has a real understanding of full-size trucks, midsize trucks, sport utilities. …" When it comes to doing small cars, the team in Korea, the team in Germany, the team in Brazil, they all have a really good understanding of doing that size vehicle. team in Korea was the right one to take on this assignment."
