Friday, October 14, 2011 GM Hopes to “Spark” Interest
 Chevrolet hopes to excite small car buyers with the Spark mini car when it becomes available next year in the United States and Canada. The Spark is a five-door, four-passenger hatch, currently available in Europe, Korea, India, Mexico, South America and Australia.
According to GM, the Spark is 14 inches shorter than the recently launched Chevrolet Sonic. It’s three feet longer than the Smart Fortwo and four inches longer than the Fiat 500. In the United States and Canada, the Spark will be powered by a 1.2L four-cylinder engine that delivers 83 horsepower. The standard transmission is a five-speed manual. An automatic transmission will be available.
More details about the Spark, the smallest Chevrolet in the U.S. and Canadian lineups, will be unveiled next month at the Los Angeles International Auto Show.
