Gone are the days when people used to flaunt their brutal SUVs and now its time to think smart and in favor of the environment. Chevrolet Beat, our very successful small car, is sold in US under the name Chevrolet Spark and 2013 Spark has been launched at the New York Auto Show. General Motors, the top seller this year, is betting big with the Spark as according to the firm the fuel prices are soaring at a rapid rate and small cars/hatchbacks are the ones that will take the charge now.
The Spark launched a day before is not the couple version and instead is a five door variant which is sold in India. The car now joins the existing league of small cars such as Fiat 500, Scion iQ, and Smart ForTwo(this one is expected to be launched in India: Read Here)
