I hope this makes GM reconsider bringing the Spark stateside as a 5-door. They need an entry level 3-door hatch yesterday. At this point, I'd even settle for an Aveo3. Add the 1.2L turbo Ecotec, and price it between $15k-20k (loaded) and they'd sell like crack.

If everything proceeds as planned, maybe you'll be able to get one from your local FiatChrysler dealership!

I mentioned this in the Spark thread. There's gonna be a small car shootout at high noon...

Ford is bringing the Fiesta (DSG!)
VW is bringing the Polo
Fiat is bringing the 500 (potentially through Chrysler dealerships!)
...and Chevy is bringing a rebadged Daewoo called the Spark

I am more than excited about the Polo. It's a great little car. If you youtube the Polo GTI and Polo GTI Cup, they are really fun to watch!

I'm torn between the Polo and 500. I really like the little Italian car since I already kind of own a big Polo

Polo


Fiesta


500


Spark
