New York Auto Show: Chevy Groove live reveal photos
Click the photo for a gallery of live shots of the Chevy Groove
The Chevy Groove concept that was unveiled at the New York Auto Show was the most utilitarian looking of the GM mini-car triplets with it's matte finish on a sort of micro-HHR body. Although the Groove is advertised as having a 1.0L diesel the interior was devoid of all but a dash top and steering wheel. The car definitely looks good in Scion xB kind of way and would surely be practical with it's tall wagon stance. Hopefully it won't be long before it becomes a full runner that we can try out with the diesel.

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.
