General Motors unveiled three Chevrolet concept cars at the New York Auto Show today. The Beat, Groove and Trax offer consumers a look at three possibilities for a future global mini car from GM. The company is asking enthusiasts to visit vote4chevrolet.com to vote for their favorite concept.
Here's how GM describes each of the cars:
Beat

"Designed to evoke the mood of a speedy micro import tuner, the Beat is a front-wheel-drive, three-door hatchback concept built to be personalized, and powered by a 1.2-liter turbocharged gasoline engine mated to an automatic transmission. It's loaded with technology, including a navigation system and premium stereo."
Groove

A 'funkastalgia'-themed vehicle too tough-looking to be 'cute,' the Groove concept is a retro-inspired vehicle with bodacious fender flares and an upright windshield. It looks much longer than it is, thanks to its short hood and long cabin. The front-drive Groove is powered by a small, efficient 1-liter diesel engine."
Joey's note: What the hell is funkastalgia' and bodacious? You can't just make up words.
Trax

"An urban crossover concept that's equally at home on the trails or in traffic, it gets a low-cost all-wheel-drive system and looks the part of a rugged SUV many times its size, thanks to a voluminous one-piece bumper and fender system in the front and back, a rear-mounted spare tire and a roof rack. Trax is powered by a 1-liter gas engine." _________________ www.ttonline.org
