I like it. has a Honda Fit sort of feel to it

Tony's BlkGTP · 11-06-2009, 06:41 PM

I think it's ok for what it is and for those it will appeal to, but I wouldn't want to be caught dead in it. That's just my opinion though.

I think it's a nice looking car! It would be great for a starter car or a commuter car. It's not intended for the big RWD people.

EllwynX · 11-06-2009, 06:48 PM

I think it's a cool looking little car. No worse than anything else on the market.

Extreme4x4 · 11-06-2009, 06:59 PM

LOL............. well that is damning praise, isn't it??

Funny thing is, most of the models coming out within the next 2 years will shock a lot of people.

Sorry but no, the Spark will be built in Orion Township, the same plant where my G6 came from. It was announced a while back, right around the bankruptcy. There was a lot of concern in mid-Michigan that Orion would be shuttered, but then they announced that Orion won the Spark. I think that decision was related to the bailout...

This will be great for the segment it targets.

staspeterson · 11-07-2009, 02:05 AM

Y'all are confused.

The Aveo is being replaced by new Aveo, maybe renamed Viva. It is a B-segment car.

The Spark is one size smaller still. It is an A-segment car. Think of it as a Smart car or Mini-Cooper sized car. Chrysler is bringing in the FIAT 500 as a competitor; and Ford may bring in its FIAT 500 that it calls at Kuga in Europe.

I know guys because I have taste. Although, I suppose even then you're correct, because there are plenty of people out there without good taste, and many of them have the ability to purchase a car like this one.

I hope this becomes a sales hit for GM, because I'm all for GM. However, it's really not a very nice car especially with those redonkulous cheerleading headlights.

What's a cheerleading highlight??

It kinda looks like that Kia thing....I forget what it's called. Probably bigger than the current Aveo, smaller than the new one.

I wonder if it's classified as a truck too.

What's redonkulous?

"redonkulous" - as first popularized by the fictional character Seth Cohen on FOX's The O.C.
George W. Bush is the most redonkulous person in the world.

The first Bush administration was ridiculous. This second one is just redonkulous.

That was the funniest movie I've seen. It was consistently redonkulous. Absolutely hilarious!

I use the "ridonkulous" variation when I type it out personally.

The Spark is an A segment car at 140" inches
The Aveo is a B segment car at 156" inches.
