Say what you will about the concept of GMC doing its rendition of a Scion xB (goodness knows we've had a couple of choice words). But once you see the thing up close and in person, it's actually really well executed.
Sure, it wouldn't look a third as cool if it ever made it to production. But its beautifully finished interior, cool wheels and clever body surfacing serve as a nice counterpoint to the chrome-laden, body-kit-having crossover excess that is the GMC Acadia Denali parked next to it.
There is hope.

Like it. Busy design in some places though.

I like it... but NOT as a GMC. It only makes sense to give it to Chevy. As a Cube, Xb, Soul competitor it doesn't exactly give an impression of being "professional grade". Besides, Chevy seems to appeal more to younger people than GMC does.

There is hope for what? The Acadia actually sells. Compact boxes with small four bangers dont- at least not in volume. While auto media types hate family haulers they sell which is why everyone makes them. I'd take an Acadia over a Cube, xB or Soul any day of the week. Considering how the CTS coupe and Camaro came to production I wouldnt expect this to change drastically in production.

Does anyone remember the 2007 New York International Auto Show when GM rolled out 3 small concepts? The Groove, Beat, and Trax… is it just me or does this concept look awful lot like the Chevrolet Groove concept, even the color.

I like this package, and would prefer this design over the other boxes. And I like the red GMC on the grille - it brings some attitude. The yellow bowtie does not bring it for me.

It does look a lot like the Groove.
