The General Motors Seoul Advanced Design Studio has been putting out images for at least a year, but GM is only now making the announcement that it’s officially open. Our initial joy was tempered by the fact that GM has always known how to design a compelling concept car, then actually deliver something at the other end of the design see-saw. However, The General’s certainly taken a more than a few steps up the emotional design ladder in recent years, and the company’s South Korean designers have already proved their small-car talent with Chevrolet’s Cruze and Spark.
There will be 30 designers at the studio doing interior and exterior design for GM’s mini and small vehicles, among other duties. If their first photo can be used as a barometer, however, larger, sportier aspirations beat in their hearts. And you’ll want to remember this photo well, because there is every chance it could resurface in three years under a 48-point headline screaming, “Is This the Mid-Engined 2018 Corvette?!” As ever, the answer is “No.” The press release on the new studio is just after the jump.
