2011 Chevrolet Spark Confirmed for U.S
Once known as the Chevrolet Beat concept, which in 2007 won the most consumer appeal in an online poll against the similarly diminutive Chevy Groove and Trax concepts, General Motors’ upcoming global minicar will be known as the Chevrolet Spark when it hits European showrooms in 2010. What’s more, the Detroit automaker reverses its original position for the vehicle’s rollout—which it said would happen in nearly every market except the U.S.—by confirming it will land in American Chevrolet dealerships in 2011.
Presented in Beat concept guise at the 2009 North American International Auto Show, GM says the sharp-edged, three-door competitor to the Smart Fortwo and Toyota iQ will formally debut as the Spark at the Geneva auto show in March. Designed in Korea by GM’s Daewoo unit, which also will build the compact hatchback, the Spark will slot in below the current Chevy Aveo in the U.S. both in terms of size and price. GM is holding off until the official unveiling to release any detailed information on the Spark, saying only it will easily manage 40 mpg on the highway and play a key role in reinforcing the company’s self-held position as a maker of fuel-efficient, award-winning products.
