Default Chevrolet Spark to be introduced to the US

I heard the Chevy Spark was to be introduced to the American market sometime soon...
Its a micro-car that looks rather like a Smart...

My 6'6" self could sit on top of it and ride it like a tricycle. lol


Seriously though, its rumored to get like 65 mpg.. but it also has a lightning-quick 3-cyl that will knock your socks off! [/Sarcasm]

I'm not sure... I'm surprised theres a forge small enough to make an 8" rim. lol
I'm not sure if thats the actual size, but it can't be too far off!

I think its part of the conditions of the federal bailout that GM releases a super-efficient model.
It'll probably sell fairly well. No one but Smart has released a micro-car.

This isn't a new idea. They were already working on this car for a few years now. With the big push for better mpg, they are getting serious about the Spark in the US now.

I have seen it on the news a few times. I wonder if it is just another cool concept that simply won't catch on with the american public. I'm waiting until they use this concept for a truck.
