Re: coming soon: Spark

so really - how much smaller is this than our current Aveo? It looks almost as big.

Re: coming soon: Spark

I think the Spark is going to replace the Aveo eventually in the same way the Cruze is eventually going to replace the Cobalt. But when they first come out the Cruze will be running side-side with the Cobalt, and Spark next to the Aveo. Maybe Chevy will keep the Aveo sedan and kill the Aveo5, and use the Spark as a replacement.

But off Spark topic, why does Chevy call both the Aveo sedan and Aveo5 Aveo when they dont look anything like each other? Why not call the sedan Aveo, and the Aveo5 something else like Chevette?

There is going to be a new Aveo in the next few years. AFAIK, it will be a bit bigger, so everything will work out fine.

Re: coming soon: Spark

Looks good for the segment. Would look better with slightly larger wheels, though.

Re: coming soon: Spark

...what the...heck kinda advertising was that?

But, I think the Spark looks a lot nicer than most other small cars I've seen. As long as it is competitive and gets good (no, great) mileage.

Keep in mind the actual size of this car. If the wheels were any larger the wheel wells in turn would have to increase, thus either reducing door openings, or increasing overall dimmensions of the car.

Despite all the negative posts, I actually see this car being a hit in the US with college kids...

Looks interesting. The interior looks pretty utilitarian, only a single gauge
