The first major show of 2010 doesn't disappoint!

GMC Granite Concept

What it is: A small crossover people mover or “urban utility vehicle,” along the lines of the Scion xB, Kia Soul and Nissan Cube.

What we like about it: The Granite Concept combines good looks with plenty of passenger room and cargo utility in a small package. Two feet shorter than the GMC Terrain, the Granite would be a good, frugal choice for city dwellers, small families or active-lifestyle types.

Bottom line: GMC is looking for a way to expand the lineup, and the Granite would give the brand a viable new entry point.
