The 2007 Chevrolet Groove Concept car has a bit of a hot-rod theme, with its squashed roof, high beltline, and upright windshield. GM Asia-Pacific design chief Dave Lyons likens it to a Chevy HHR, but less retro-and, obviously, much smaller.
The Groove's hot-rod persona made it a natural candidate for GM to try out a low-gloss paint it's been working on. The dark purple color is ultra-metallic but low gloss. This concept is a styling exercise only, but package-wise it was designed around a 1.0-liter diesel engine and front-wheel drive.
