Production Chevy Beat to debut at Detroit Auto Show?

On this morning’s Today Show, Matt Lauer talked to GM design chief Ed Welburn about GM’s new products that will debut at this years NAIAS. Featured were the Buick LaCrosse
and Chevrolet Camaro.

More interestingly and, considering the current market, more importantly, Welburn teased the front end of what is sure to be a production version of the Chevy Beat Concept that was shown in New York in 2007. Welburn states that of the three concepts shown that year, the Beat was the one that was most popular.

It is unclear and unknown if the Beat will go into production worldwide, or if it is meant for the European and Asian markets only. Video and more after the jump.

It wasn't bound for the US last year, is it this year? Nobody knows.

But why would it be production debuted at NAIAS if it wasn't coming to the US?

I believe this will make it to the US. Depending on what articles you read and GM needs to stop selling cars outside of US that would sell well inside US!
