It has to be big; you can't pack that much ugliness into a smaller vehicle: there isn't room.

The first time I saw one of these, it was parked next to a new Ford Mustang. Looking at both cars side by side, they share the same styling characteristics. Ford and Chevy sharing characteristics, lovely. Its that whole 'stealth bomber' angled styling look. Ugh!

I really dont care for it.

You would think that they learn their lesson with the Pontiac SUV since that is not flying off the shelf and they have to resort to giving it away on game shows and reality TV shows. A casino in Vegas was using the Pontiac as a prize for the slot machine and they got no takers for the last year.
