"This is the future of GM," Lutz proclaimed as he pointed to the radically styled Beat. In an effort to beat the Japanese at their own game, GM is considering reentering the subcompact market to compete with the likes of Scion. In a recent survey, polls indicated consumers liked the Beat above the other two entrants of this year's design competition. "We have so much potential in this country. We at GM want to harness that talent and enthusiasm." The often outspoken Lutz made suggestive comments that the Beat could be available in the very near future. We at Edmunds can already hear the lawyers grinding their teeth again.

estreka, did you forget the Beat was designed in Korea?

"As you can see we chose the name Beat because it looks like someone beat it with an ugly stick."

G1 (good one), stovt001! Except I don't think it's ugly. Then again, that's coming from a guy who drives a Subaru.

D'oh! You're right, Loren.

For some reason I was thinking these were designed by college students.

"5 or 10 years ago, we did not do very good exteriors. With the Beat, we have massively overcorrected, with this very stylish black mustache."

I think he's saying "This wheel here is the one most likely to fall off first!".

oh I have another one.
What happens when you breed a fit and a smart?

"I think you'll agree that the most compelling and vital design element on the entire car is this-here left-front fog light."
or
"Our engineers have discovered that if you mount an ordinary playing card right here, the Beat makes a really neat-o clicka-clicka-clicka-clicka noise that sounds just like an engine. In my ride around the block, I found that when I pedal really, really hard, it sounds totally wicked."

We picked up this little number in Area 51 and slapped a Chevy badge on it.

Beat. Named for what we did to the design engineers of this vehicle.

"Awe shucks, tuck that thing behind the curtain where nobody can see it. And while you're at it, bring me out another Tahoe. And make sure it has enough gas in it to make it out here..."
"What you are looking at here is a Beat. You get the gist of it, it's tiny, it's got a small engine, it's um... And over here, we have the new 6.2 liter Yukon Denali. Now, you're gonna want one of these..."
"Hey, how about we show these fine folks what the Camaro concept looks like? Now I don't know if y'all have seen this yet, but..."
"Anyone in this group who drives a Prius, just leave... now. Over there is door, use it"
"Ok, that wasn't me, you see my partner Rick over there, had this bean burrito for lunch right before we started this presentation and..."

"We've done measurements and these tires are 40% the height of the actual vehicle."
"The Beat should be in production within the next 20 years or so."
