So a long time ago I reported on the possibility of
Chevrolet getting a version of Buick’s Encore, perhaps called the Strobe, and
now L'Automobile Magazine
has obtained Patent renderings of this Vehicle. The car shares absolutely no sheet
metal with the Encore; even the door skins are unique.
The Strobe has a more
upright front end, blockier fender flares, a more traditional crossover DLO,
a
more Captiva like rear end,
and a front fascia that looks like a Cruze and an
Equinox had a love child. So because it shares no styling, why does it still
look like an Encore? Well I think this can be attributed to two things, 1: one
the Proportions, and 2: the fact that it’s a patent rendering does the car no
justice, I think it will look allot better, and less like the Encore when it’s
in production, but it doesn’t look too bad now. I might try to “Paint” the car
in Photoshop to give us a better Idea of what it will look like if I get the
time. It’s unclear whether or not this will come to America, as reports have both
confirmed and denied it, but if it does, we can probably expect at least some
lighting changes, but judging by spy shots, I’d be willing to bet it gets a
more Sonic like face if it makes our shores. I hope it does come here though
because Chevrolet needs something to go up against the other small SUVs like
the CRV and Rav4, But I’d like to pose a question to you guys, would you rather
Chevrolet get this or the Meriva?
