While details remain sparse, General Motors rolled out its three-door (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/04/new-york-auto-show-chevy-beat-live-reveal-video/)Beat Concept from the 2007 New York Auto Show, promising that a version of the car will be produced beginning in 2010 for foreign markets, and for the US in 2011. Oddly, unlike the three-door sub-Aveo - sized hatch that rolled on to this morning's main stage, the production Spark figures to be a five-door hatchback capable of delivering 40 miles-per-gallon in the city. Officials indicate that a production version of the Spark will roll out at the Geneva Motor Show (http://www.autoblog.com/category/Geneva-Motor-Show/) in March, and AB readers have already seen development prototypes running around (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/12/18/spy-shots-ab-reader-spots-chevrolet-beat/).
Interestingly, the leaked shot (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/01/10/detroit-preview-chevy-spark-beats-a-path-to-the-web/) that we showed you yesterday clearly shows a five-door vehicle. Perhaps it will roll onto display stands later in the show, but for now, GM has chosen to parade the 2007 three-door showcar around. We'll do some poking around, but in the meantime, take a gander at the high-res gallery of shots below and click through to the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/01/11/detroit-2009-chevy-spark-playing-to-a-familiar-beat-w-video/) for the press release.
