You know how there was a question of whether or not we'd ever see the Chevy Beat for sale in North America? The answer to that question is looking more like a big fat yes. Of course, a subcompact like the Beat makes perfect sense in a landscape where gas is selling for well over $4 a gallon in many areas. Our quasi-confirmation comes not from El Generalissimo, however, but from the set of Transformers 2, which was recently given its tagline: Revenge of the Fallen. In the photo above, next to Bumblebee, is the Chevy Beat -- partially covered, but the Beat nonetheless. You know what putting it in the movie does, right? It makes people want it. Last summer, it was the Camaro. Next summer, it looks like GM's gonna make the Beat a big star. You can see the above photo and more from the set at the Transformers Live Action Movie Blog.

Original Story: Chevy Beat in Transformers 2
Chevy Beat in Transformers 2
The Beat is easily the sportiest of the Chevrolet concept trio—and not just because of the way it looks. The front-drive three-door incorporates a 1.2-liter turbocharged engine (really better for Jazz because of its moves). This is no bad thing, as its pugnacious styling and compact proportions won it a lot of fans. And I wonder who’s the character going to hold the Beat? Is it Jazz or Soundwave?
