General Motors gives the Chevrolet Spark a go for North America?
GM has apparently given the Chevrolet Beat as it is known around the world the go-ahead for North American sales. Does that mean the car is coming to the U.S.? Who really knows at this point, but GM spokespeople have stated in the past that the car was designed with United States regulations in mind. Gas prices are predicted to rise, so a smaller car in Chevrolet’s lineup makes perfect sense. For more details, head on over to Autoblog.

Chevrolet Spark could still come to the United States!
If things go well enough in the near term for GM, then we might see a version of the Spark here on our side of the pond. This car has been on-again/off-again and it appears that it might now be in the near term. The engine choices will offer up to 47 mpg and you can even get a “Big Gulp” cup holder! If it does make an appearance here, it would be competing against the 2011 Ford Fiesta. For more details, head on over to Autoblog.

Chevy Orlando concept (GM)
GM chief executive Fritz Henderson says that Chevrolet will be fully competitive, and a leader in fuel economy within two years. This transformation will be lead by new products like the new 2010 Camaro, Cruze, Spark and seven-seat Orlando, all due out for the 2011 model year. The new Equinox, launching in June, is expected to get 32 mpg on the highway, and the Chevy Volt range-extended-plug-in is on track to arrive in late 2010. For more, head on over to AutoWeek.
