it was announced at work today that the Beat will go into global production with korea being the starting target area in mid 2009.and since Daewoo will probably assemble it, that only makes sensehttp://www.cars.com/go/feature...=Beat

not bad! i'm sure it won't look as cool though.

Hopefully this will be successful for Chevy, but it's pretty ugly.And if they don't change the looks, at least change the name.

Looks like it got beat with the ugly stick.

hmmm, so GM's still mixin n sprayin envy paint...i'm not a fan of this one. hey it looks like northvibe's avatar. NV, is there a way you can do a reverse process on the pic of the beat?? maybe it could look a lil better if it was stretched out

Well, I guess my first question would be do they intend to replace the Aveo with this car, or market it along side of it. I don't think Chevy has need for both in their lineup.As for looks... they are interesting. I might consider one based on appearance. I think it could be a bit more popular with the tuner crowd than the Aveo.It really needs to get better fuel economy than the Aveo to be marketable.Beyond that, I have to agree with northvibe. GM needs to give up on Daewoo. If they can't build the car on their own (and, there's no reason the can't) they'd be far better off taking advantage of their relationship with Toyota and build something based on the Yaris platform. Or, possibly re-up with Suzuki and market a new Metro a year or two after Suzuki brings back the Swift.
