Bite-Sized Candies

GM nails it again with this trio of attractive micro-bots. Developed primarily by GM’s Korean design team, these cute-as-a-button concept vehicles include (from foreground to farthest) the Groove, the Trax, and the Beat. The Groove’s sleek matte "Lunar Quartz" finish is an expensive nod to black primer, intended to evoke the look of "retro hot rods." The front-wheel drive Trax, with limited slip and an independent electric motor to drive the rear wheels for occasional AWD, is kind of like a My Little Pony pretending it’s a SUV. And the Beat, the "tuner" of the bunch, gets a turbo’d 1.2L engine, making it substantially zippier than the 1.0L-powered Trax and Groove. For more views and to vote on your favorite of the three, visit their page on the GM website.

But is there room for Bob Lutz and his cowboy hat?

I hope none of those ever actually hit the streets. I already think mini vans should be outlawed because of how slow they accelerate. I could only imagine being stuck behind one of those. It would be like a kia sportage all over again…. but worse. Or maybe, I am just a complete car snob that believes its actually un safe to not have the power needed to move out of the way available to your right foot at a seconds notice?
