International Nomad shown

06 January 2004: Detroit Auto Show - The Chevrolet Nomad concept car unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show was designed by a small team at the General Motors Advanced Design Studio based in the UK Midlands.

The skeleton of the Nomad was developed in the United States and shipped to the UK for the exterior and interior design work, and the concept car was actually built by Pininfarina in Italy. Even the 2.2-litre petrol engine is Opel-built.

While the Nomad looks somewhat compact for the US market, It has been designed as a proper road-going concept.

The car could come to Europe. It would not be out of place with its size and sporty looks which would appeal to buyers on this side of the Atlantic. Some industry observers suggest it will have a Saab badge here.
