GMC's New Box: The Granite Concept


At this year's 2010 Detroit's North America International Auto Show, GMC debuts its first box on wheels, which is expected to go-to-head with Scion's xD, Nissan's cube and Kia's Soul, the segment leader. The two-foot micro vehicle known as the Granite Concept is outfitted with GMC’s signature grille design and flanked by headlamps that sweep back into the fenders.

The headlamps and fog lamps are set at the far edges of the front-end bodywork, accentuating the Granite’s planted stance. At the rear, the vehicle’s planes and angles come together tightly, showing careful attention to detail. Other exterior elements include prominent taillamps with a multi-layer appearance and LED lighting technology; and a centered exhaust outlet with a brushed metal tip.

There is no chrome on the exterior of the Granite; all the trim has a satin or brushed metal finish, accenting the industrial look. Large, 20-inch wheels – wrapped in Bridgestone tires – were tailored within the fenders for a low, sporty stance. We first saw this vehicle at special VIP press preview event at GM's design center last fall. Unfortunately, we weren't allowed to take pictures. As of now, no release date has been announced. As we get more details, we'll let you know. (To enhance the images, click on the photo).
