Prisma

When he/she spoke about the amplification of the factory of Gravataí, in Big Rio of the South, GM cogitated to produce there more two models besides the Celtic. The first, according to the speculations of the market, would be a sedã. As the reader already knows, this month the Prism, the Celtic sedã was presented (he/she reads the evaluation of this car here). The other car would be an utilitarian one sporting small, that would come to dispute market with it Ford EcoSport, that today reigns alone in its segment. Because eis that, in the Living room of the Automobile of this year, Chevrolet shows a “design exercise”, the Prisma Y.
And the one what is the Prisma Y? Nothing less than an utilitarian one sporting small, done on the platform of Celta/Prisma. Fiat made the same with FCC Adventure (he/she reads more here on him), but creativity exercises are not more as not very pragmatic as they were in the past. When they appear, it can bet that or they will inspire new models, case of FCC, or they will be base for the development of a product, as we bet that will be as the Prisma Y.
Chevrolet didn't disclose technical information on the car, as free empty space, mechanization, internal space and other tracks of the type, but it informs that the trunk was privileged, being larger than the one of the Prism (of 439 l) to favor the practice of whole sport type, of surf the bicycle. It is not secret that, in spite of parrudo, EcoSport doesn't offer a trunk there very reasonable (just 292 l, not very larger than the one of a VW Gol or that the one of Fiat Palliates). It would already be an advantage of GM.
The tires are of hoop 16” and, for the photos, it is noticed a good height in relation to the soil. Exaggerated, as the double escapes in the back, typical of cars equipped with motors in “V”, but enough to face the highway to the ranch in the week end.
For the mechanization, it can be bet in the 1,4-litro, in the entrance versions, and in at 1,8-litro for the most sophisticated. The 2-litros could also be an option, but perhaps he doesn't fit in the coffer of the motor.
Speculations to the part, and adapting the popular dictation, when the market says or it is, or it was or it will be. Him Ford EcoSport should take advantage of well its last moments of solitude in the segment that he inaugurated in Brazil.
