Well obviously somebody got fired for that design......but to be honest, I see a precursor to the 1st RX300. Thank god Lexus was able to bring the right RX to the market.

Unlike GM with the AZZtek, Toyota had enough sense to leave that one at the drawing board.

Ive posted info and pics of that concept before here. It was to show maximum space inside with minimum space outside, that was the point of the car.

It actually looks like the last-generation Daewoo Lanos hatchback.....although with a lot more power and no doubt a better interior.

I see those 147s down here in Mexico and that was exactly my thought. They are sold via GM in Mexico at Cadillac/Hummer/Saab showrooms. The 147 goes for about 30K USD here (cars are way more expensive here than in U.S. or Europe) with a 2.0L 150 hp 16V engine.

30k USD sounds about right for europe, for base model ;-).
