A new small SUV from GM may by 2010 be challenging the segment currently led across Europe by Suzuki's SX4 and its engineering sibling Fiat Sedici.
GM Europe is actively studying the option, which is likely to be based on the new small car platform currently being developed by GM in Korea.
The Chevrolet Traxx concept car revealed in 2006 at New York and subsequently shown off in European events.
Sales of small SUVs grew by more than 60 percent last year, and are continuing strong growth this year. The GM model would be marketed under both Chevrolet and Opel brands and estimated sales could be 120,000 units a year. BB
