This shape looks so familiar, then it hit me, I think this could be a modified Opel Agila! I can’t be sure, but the two really look A LOT alike. To my eye the Agila looks better but this isn’t bad. It will be interesting to see if this makes it to the USA.

The Spark is cute & funky…OK more like goofy & trendy. Another clown-mobile for the financially strained consumer.

NMOFGM, oyu must be stupid if you think that this car will compete with the Versa, and Fit. They are a class bigger! Wow, did you just bag on a GM! CarbonGSR, you are worse than NMOFGM! typical stereotypes about cars are stupid! EVERYONE ONE THIS SITE EXCLUDING ME AND CADDYV ARE MORONS! EVERYONE NEEDS TO WAKE UP AND EXCEPT ALL CAR COMPANIES! I’VE LEARNED TO EXCEPT TOYOTA AND HONDA AND ALL THE OTHERS! ITS JUST SICK THAT ONLY A COUPLE PEOPLE ON THIS SITE SUPPORT AMERICAN CARS! THIS COUNTRY HAS BECOME AWFUL!

NMOFGM, where do you get the crack you are smoking. Seriously dude, lay off the pipe.

This car is ugly. GM will never be a better car then Honda or Toyota. At least not as long as they are taking tax payer money to pay these UAW workers that clearly make too much money.

This car will be as hot as anything else GM puts out. There will be waiting lists a mile long to get their hands on one. GM is really on a roll and will destroy Toyo and Honda with this easily. I can see both of them going out of business very soon. This is the last ounce of japanese sales and GM will steal ever bit of it away from these snivelling Japs. Everyone would rather drive a quality, dependable vehicle from GM than an embarassing piece of sh1t form sushiland.

Buy American. Buy GM. Do the RIGHT thing. Buy one today

Hey man, don’t knock the bus, living in Chicago I much prefer walking or taking the bus because driving a car in this mayhem isn’t exactly economical. Although I see your point, this isn’t exactly a stellar car. The Volt and the Cruze however, as much of a VW and Honda fan as I am I’m excited to see how those cars will turn out.

This is another ChevyWoo, built in Korea, isn’t it?

I think I would rather take the bus than drive one of these.

Please, someone IP ban this POS. He does the opposite of contribute meaningful information and opinion in these comments. He’s a FAKE! He really is soiling the enjoyment of LLN.

Another class leader from GM. Way better than the Fit, the Nissan or the Aveo and will be infinitely more reliable, with batter quality and way better reliability than anything out there. All those japcrap pieces of sh1t will be in the boneyard after 3 years while this Chevy will drive for hundreds of thousands of miles with nary a wimper. Everyone would rather drive a GM vehicle anyways, and it’s embarrassing to drive import sh1t.

Craptitude? You can tell how poor of quality a car’s interior will have from a CG image of the CAD model? I can tell already that you won’t like the interior. If it was made from angel hides and starshine you would probably say its quality is showing its’ pure Craptitude.

Zcarsales:
“Patriot, so you don’t think that the plant worker in the States uses the money he earns from a foreign auto manufacturer and puts it into his own economy?”

And that is where the folly lies. If the US is effectively run by foreign multi-nationals, then that plant worker is in fact, NOT putting the money into his own economy, but instead, is putting it into the economy(s) of the countries whose corporations he is buying goods from.

Ok what’s with the headlights the size of Rhode Island?
And please explain whose bright idea it was to put roof rails on this car. No one in their right mind would put a carrier on a roof that sloped backwards, not unless they want it to fall off. Basically, they’re useless.

It looks like a typical econo box. In other words, it looks horrible. Those headlights have to go. They’re all the way up to the pillars for christ sake. Why not just make the pillars headlights?

Holy cr@p, the interior’s cr@ptatude is showing through even the one interior photo available.

The Ford Fiesta, at least, doesn’t reveal it’s interior cr@ptatude in it’s photos. (so I’m withholding judgement until I can sit in it)

By: iluvamcars

Like I said! The Fiesta is a class larger than it too! Its kind of close to the iQ, but bigger.

By the way this won’t compete with the Versa. Its a class smaller! The Aveo barley competes with it because its so small. NLOFGM, screw you! You got everyone fired up and everyone began comparing this car to the VERSA! You also got everyone off topic and everyone is talking about the whole car production crap! In every article I read, all the blogs talk about the Am cars made in foriegn countries and foreign cars being made in AM. EVERYONE NEEDS TO STOP TALKING ABOUT THAT! DROP IT! ITS A STUPID TOPIC AND I’M TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT IT! Morons! All of you!

AMERICAN, BUY IT BECAUSE ITS SUPPORTIVE

P.S. When Am cars are made in foreign countries, the money comes back here! When foreign cars are made in AM, the money goes back to their country!

iluvamcars — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 22:22:50 +0000

All you idiots who think you should buy foreign cars because they are made, while buying the big three’s cars is unpatriotic! Shameful! According to an article LLN posted, 40% of foreign cars are made her! The other 60% is being made in the foreign countries. A high percentage of American cars are built here and yes they do build them in foreign countries, but look at how many foreign cars are coming from foreign companies! I have a friend who bought a 99 Camry Solara built in Canada was so impressed with the quality, that when he traded in his Solara, he got an 04, built in the U.S., and the car is crap and he has had nothing but problems with it. It doesn’t matter what kind of car it is, if its biult here its somewhat crappy, becuase us Americans are not 100% devoted to our work. Anyway, this car is great and if it starts at under $8,000, it might be my next car!

AMERICAN, NOTHING ELSE

This is the kind of garbage they have been selling to us Europeans lately, i.e. re-badged Daewoos. It was a brilliant idea at first – marriage between the two, since Daewoo had better quality at the time, Chevy had a very well-known brand. But now we somehow ended up getting cars that are crappy plastic pieces of junk and have poor image too. Times change.

Since there is nothing else interesting in this car, the least they could do is to name it funny.

Let us hope GM forgets the US on this one. Although it’s a new hobby to poke fun at the “smart” drivers, this one would bring even more joy to me. Just don’t pull out in the fastlane like the Prius drivers doing 5 under. That drives me nuts, and almost happens everyday making the guy behind me darn near rear end me.

I guess the Versa was a bad example, but my point was to buy cars that support America regardless of the manufacture. More than that I was trying to mock “Need more oil for GM.”

TomF, per your suggestion looked at interior. That automatic lever looks horrifying for either 1.0L or 1.2L engine. It should be called Blast in reference to Pinto.

Well, considering the current Spark is actually a Matiz (Daewoo) made for markets (the Spark is for the Philippines) OUTSIDE the US, I would expect to see this start production in Korea. That would make sense for a car sold in Korea but not in the US to be built in Korea. It’s also sold in South America (Mexico as the Pontiac G2), so if it does come to the US, expect to see it built there.

Seconds worth of effort searching Wikipedia.
