    If the Spark is good quality, then what you're getting at the cheapest price point isn't too bad. I wonder if part of the reason it's at the 12K mark is all the standard safety features?

    Curious about the price point. I mean, It's an entirely different segment.

    If you were in the market for a subcompact/compact Chevy though, what would keep you from spending an additional $800ish on the Sonic.

    Tony, that's the million dollar question with all A-segment vehicles. Currently, most of them are more expensive than the larger B- or C-segment vehicles.

    Be sure to check out my article I wrote exactly on this subject.

    Will the Chevrolet Spark be the first affordable A-segment vehicle?

    Chevy is taking a risk. Should be interesting.

    What are the fuel economy ratings? I'm betting the reliability ratings will suck in the strategic long run, but what do I know. I'm no expert. But when it comes to experience, I'm skeptical concerning American small cars, sorry. I don't trust them and wouldn't own one (unless one was given to me).

    I can't remember what I had given you for the estimated price a while back. Was I close?
