the 1.2L engine? Or will they come up with a bigger engine for the U.S. market? Perhaps they will borrow from their Daewoo subsidiary? Consumer Reports mentions a 93-inch wheelbase, which is exactly the same length as my Echo: http://blogs.consumerreports.org/cars/2009/03/2012-chevrolet-spark.html This could be the first Chevy with truly class-leading fuel economy. It sure does have a big face for such a small car though. Road and Track is speculating it will receive a 1.6L EcoTec engine, which of course will be overkill for such a small car and drive down the fuel economy. They are also expecting a starting price of around $14K: http://www.roadandtrack.com/article.asp?section_id=10&article_id=7826

...better in real life. "Design by committee" at it's worst. As someone said on a different forum, reminiscent of the Aztek, right down to the hideous green. I'm a GM fan [and owner], but if this is where the company is headed, the US taxpayer's bailout money is being pissed down the drain. Hope I'm wrong.
