These three GM small car concepts are just pug ugly. I can't believe that GM really thinks it's moved ahead on the design front. Take a look at the Mayflower from the mid-50s. These objects look like first year design student projects. If I were GM I'd get some new paper and crayons, and start all over again.

i like them, the trax is a little tonka toyish for me but the other 2 are good. certainly better looking than the smart and most other city cars. the sporty one looks like a scaled down version of that concept rally car chevy did about a year ago. i dont like the proportions on any of them but your kind of limited with cars this small. would be nice to see something with a little lower stance instead of just a bunch of visual tricks to make it look low.

the groove especially seems like the most mature of the three, and also the most badass of the chevy minicars. I'd take it, if I lived in a busy city.

They look like Toyotas, and Toyotas generally look like crap.

Toyota... Scion, whatever. If GM can put on the perception that these are Toyota-like, it may very well work for them. Too bad Toyota hasn't been able to keep up their image quite so well lately. It was the only way to sell bland designs, other than heavy rebates.

I think these cars are Great! They all have a modern efficient look to them. My favourite is the Groove. I question why we're meant to vote on vehicles that probably won't come to North America...unless that's a smoke screen.

they should make all 3 (in usa) in diesel, with a switch to heat the fuel lines when want to run on vegetable oil, made in usa too!

fantasyfreddy

would help if us govt would make a new "hemp for victory" video too, like did for WWII (victory being peace)! that way corn could be used as food, for humans or animals...
