actually they just say B segment car, I assume this has to be the Spark and so does whom ever is in charge of selecting the picture for articles at autoblog.

 

 

Even though it is nothing I would want to drive, it is good to see some manufacturing being done in the USA and Michigan again. :

 

The Spark is an A segment car. So it's likely going to be the Aveo replacement rumored to be called "Viva." I really hope they don't call it "Viva" because not only is it dumb, but it sounds like a reactionary derivative of its natural competitor - Fiesta.

 

The Viva and the Spark are similar looking.

Glad to see it. We need to stop outsourcing everything in our country. Although I wonder how much of the car is built outside the US and imported to assemble here

 

Interior looks the same as the Spark http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcsi.d...r-is-spied.jpg

 

They mean Viva (God, I hope they name it something else)

 

Will it make $$$$

 

It is expected to, but that depends on gas prices. At $4 demand will probably be strong enough, at $1.75 probably not. The odds are we will see higher gas prices as the economy recovers.

 

The labor agreement negotiated stritcly with the chosen plant virtually guarantees it will make $$$$.

 

Why even bother making that monstrosity? Is that gonna be the Chevy Aztek?!

 

Great point

Chevy Smart car

 

No, Chevy Fiesta. This is not an A class car being discussed. It's about the same size as the current Aveo - not a micro car like the Smart. Despite the family resemblance between the two, the Spark and "Viva" or no more the same car than the Malibu and Cruze are.

 

Design-wise I mean.
