What these spy photos haven&#8217;t shown that well is how small these concept cars are, they&#8217;re downright &#8220;cute&#8221;, they&#8217;d make great choices for minibot characters.\u00c2\u00a0 Anyway, I covered this in <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.myspace.com\/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&amp;friendID=68319007&amp;blogID=333646275\" target=\"_blank\">my blog<\/a> along with a few photos of the Beat, including a shot of its very concept-y interior.
