Chevy to bring Spark microcar to the U.S. in 2010

Last year Chevy asked the world to choose the most attractive of three microcar concepts. Over two-million people voted for the Chevy Beat, making it the winner by a substantial margin. Now, Chevy is promising to produce the Beat, but they're giving it an old Chevy name, the Spark.

The Spark is a microcar currently sold in markets including India and South America, but this new car has pretty much nothing to do with it. It takes all it's styling for the Beat and, unlike the Spark, will actually be sold in North America. Originally, the triplet of concept cars was not meant for the American market.

But, apparently, the market has changed enough (and it has certainly changed) that pretty much the whole world will be able to buy one.

    Companies should be selling these cars in the united states now, they have the cars. Two dollar gas is not going to last and people in the few months of 4$ gas were already changing how they thought about transportation, but the american car companies will probly let toyota or honda beat them to this, its there operating strategy
