It looks like they took all the things that made the concept interesting and different and replaced them with standard SUV parts made by every manufacturer.

GM hasn’t been good at making “interesting” or “different” for a long time. The Corvette is about the only car they are willing to take any risk on. The Groove concept is from the period when they had the HHR and SSR. Both were different, but neither was interesting enough to attract the sales GM wanted. After the 2008 recession, they weren’t going to take any risks. Maybe they figured out that nobody would buy a badly executed Scion xB clone from GM.

I was thinking more Kia Soul, another car that isn’t blowing the doors off the dealerships for their maker either..
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles

Take off that Mazda mask, you foolish deluded Chevrolet!
How can this possibly by inspired by that concept? B pillar lights might have been interesting but nooooo.

Ford did the same thing with the Escape.
2nd gen:
3rd gen like 10 years later
We won’t talk about the 4th gen. Actually yeah, hey at least they tried something. Even though it looks like a crack fish now

It’s just a reuse of a name they had before.
In 2007, GM hosted a poll on which one of these concepts to enter production, the the Beat (the green one), the Groove (the gray one), the Trax (the orange one). The Beat won, and that became the 2009 Chevrolet Spark (which was also called the Beat in other parts of the world). The Groove gets forgotten cos the other 2 appeared in Transformers 2.
Many years later GM reused the Trax name, which had no relation to the concept, other than being crossovers, and it looks like they’re doing it again.

Groove is a good name, better than Trax at least, and feels like it should compete against the Nissan Kicks and Hyundai Kona and the like, but it seems too large for a true Trax replacement. Thanks for the info. I can see a little bit of production Trax in the concept Trax, but if anything the concept looks more like the Buick equivalent.
