|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CHEVROLET SPARK | +26.56% | 8,373 | 6,616 | 59% | 42% | +13.67% | 23,036 | 20,265 |

The GM Authority Take
We attribute the increase in Spark sales during Q3 2020 to two factors:
- An attractive and desirable product with very little competition, and
- An improvement in “on the ground” inventory as a result of an influx of shipments from the GM Changwon plant in South Korea
The Q3 2020 results represents a significant improvement over the preceding quarter, which saw sales volume slip as a result of availability-related complications caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The GM Changwon plant in South Korea built the 5 millionth vehicle in February 2020

Ahem, GM and Chevy are you paying attention? Don’t drop this car after 2022!! And for god-sake, don’t go off and re-name it. They need to work on getting this car into even more homes and bring new buyers into GM.
Very little competition is an understatement. The last Fiat 500s sold in the US are MY 2019.
Very funny spin and article. The spark increased over 20% because the other two competitors have been discontinued. While the Volkswagen beetle has sold literally millions our little Chevy spark can’t even sell 50,000 annualized over the year
Ah, the Mitsubishi is not discontinued. Very much alive and sitting on dealer lots all over.
By the way isn’t it GMs intention to stop selling all cars and only sell SUVs and electrics
Hello and Thank You for Reading My Comments. I Own a 2018 Chevy Spark and From First Hand Experience With This Little Car. I’m Very Impressed. Great Fuel Economy. Decent Ride for its Size, And Comfortable to Ride In !!!! Economy….From Michigan to Arkansas. $89.00 Round Trip in Fuel !!! Michigan to North Carolina $100.00 Round Trip !!! Unbelievable !!! For Us It’s Not Just a City Car !!! The Fact is it’s More Than Payed for its Self on that Alone. I Would Definitely be Interested in Purchasing a nother Spark !!!! But I’ve Read Where They Might be Discontinued ??? Makes Me Sad. It Seems Just When You get Ahold of Great Quality !!! It’s Removed for This Reason or That. Would Really like to See This Little Gem Evolve Further !!!!! Thanks for Your Understanding. Patrick Maue
Patrick,
I too own a Spark. 2020 1LT Special Edition and I love the car way more than I expected.
