Chevrolet’s aggressive looking little Beat concept has been given the green light after a public vote.
The Beat was up against the Groove and Trax, which looked a bit dull in comparison, and Simon Cowell was nowhere to be seen.
1.9 million online voters took part in the poll and picked the Beat to be Chevrolet’s new young, urban city car.
It will now make its debut in 2010.
Speaking at the Los Angeles Auto Show, where the production announcement was made, Chevrolet General Manager, Ed Peper, said: 'The people have spoken.
‘The vote count tripled all previous GM online consumer surveys, telling us Beat resonated with customers all around the world.
‘Chevrolet was overwhelmed by the positive reaction to each of the three mini concept cars, but Beat was a sound winner.’
The production model is likely to be very similar to the concept, but we at PistonHeads are hoping GM see fit to put something tasty under the bonnet to match the sporty styling.
