2004 Chicago Auto Show
Based on the new rear-drive Kappa architecture, this concept evokes the spirit of the 1954 Chevy Nomad concept vehicle, including its round headlamps mounted on gently curving fenders, a trademark Corvette grille, and a forward-sloping B-pillar. It also reminds of the '90s concept of the same name and even color. This concept rides on a full independent suspension hung from a rock-solid chassis made of hydroformed frame rails. A four-seater, the Nomad rides on a 107-inch wheelbase, two inches longer than other Kappa concepts on the circuit. A turbocharged Ecotec 2.2-liter/250-hp four-cylinder engine powers the Nomad, which also features a new Hydra-Matic 5L40-E electronically controlled five-speed automatic transmission with finger-operated tap shifting. The wee wagon utility is maximized by a removable rear roof panel, a folding tailgate, and a sliding cargo floor that extends over the folded tailgate so items placed on the load floor can be easily pushed into the cargo area.

I was 30 minutes late to work today, and it was all Toyota's fault. (Okay, it was actually all my fault, but my boss might not be as upset about it if I blame Toyota…) I went on a wild goose chase through the hills of... more
