New York Auto Show: Chevy Beat live reveal photos

Click the photo for a gallery of live high-res shots of the Chevy Beat
Of the three Chevy mini-car triplets unveiled in New York the bright Green Beat is the only complete car. It has a full interior and the front wheels are powered by a 1.2 turbocharged gas engine. It is the sportiest of three cars and in an informal vote of the press at the conference, it won overwhelmingly.

Please read this article in the Detroit news. We need these cars here in the U.S. It does not look like G.M will sell them here.

From article "In an interview with reporters after revealing the three concept cars, GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz said it currently was unlikely that GM will build any of the triplet concepts for sale in the United States, unless there was a dramatic prolonged increase in fuel prices or an "unforeseen" change in fashion for small cars here. He also said the vehicles could be priced starting at $10,000 and could be built in either China or India. All of the triplets would get in the high 40 or 50 mile per gallon fuel economy range.
Lutz noted that the vehicles aren't currently being designed to meet rigorous U.S. safety requirements, another sign the company isn't likely to bring any of the three vehicles designed at GM's South Korean design studio to the U.S. market."
For G.M. to change its image these are exactly the cars they need to sell in the U.S. Please help publicize this.

What an unfortunate name. That car sure does look "beat". With an ugly stick... Worst name since the GM Impact concept.
To me, the car's styling looks like a ripoff of the Mercedez-Benz Bionic concept of a few years back.

I like the concept of Chevrolet. They really attract young buyers and the design really fits for a certain age. Good job for the team.
