Comments
Why I feel like chevy is going to nix the spark
Why do you feel that? Sales are down because of a stop-sale associated with an airbag recall.
Chevy needs the Spark in many markets including:
1. In developing markets, specifically in Central America, South America, the Caribbean.
2. In developed markets that have a use for such a car, including North America, China and Korea.
3. The Spark could also work well in Europe if/when Chevy makes a return to the market.
So no axing of the Spark is necessary so long as there is significan content sharing with another low cost model, like the Sonic and Trax.
