2013 Chevy Spark

Go ahead, hop on the bandwagon and become a driver of the new Chevy Spark. Because this minicar has sold so well in the past two months GM is asking their GM factory in Korea to make more!

The 2013 Chevrolet Spark has sold an amazing 6,300 cars in two months since being released onto the market. According to Automotive News magazine, Cristi Landy, the marketing director for Chevrolet small cars says, “We’ve gotten a really strong reaction in the marketplace.”

I would say so. For one, they surpassed original sales by a large margin. Two, the expected amount of cars to be sold in one year is 27,000. GM has not stated the exact number that was told to their factory to make, but it will need at least 10,000 more based on customer demands. It’s the smallest Chevrolet car the U.S. has sold in more than two decades.

So why is the Chevy Spark so popular among drivers? As a “minicar”, it’s perfect for the urban landscape. Fit in those small parking spaces, save gas, and look good doing it. This car has the brightest color palate, with eight colors to choose from. With names like Jalapeno, Techno Pink, or Lemonade, you know this car is one hot commodity.

The five-door vehicle automatic transmission can get an amazing 28 mpg city/37 mpg highway fuel efficiency, 32 mpg combined. It’s equipped with a 1.2L I-4 engine that has Variable Valve Timing, which lessens fuel use.

The exterior is oh so city-savvy: 15-inch-split-spoke silver painted wheels, curvy angles, and a modern flair in every aspect. It’s definitely a unique look that makes this minicar stand out in a crowd.

Not to mention, the technology it offers is innovative and daring. There is a 7-inch diagonal color touch-screen that has handsfree technology and streaming audio available with Pandora or Sticher SmartRadio. Hook up your own gadget through the USB port for music and audio capabilities¾all through six stereo speakers.

You may be wondering where you can get your hands on this popular Chevy model. Why, from your nearest Chevy dealer of course! If you’re in the Bradenton, FL area, stop in at Cox Chevrolet and test drive the Spark. You won’t regret it!
