Last year Chevy asked the world to choose the most attractive of three microcar concepts. Over two-million people voted for the Chevy Beat, making it the winner by a substantial margin. Now, Chevy is promising to produce the Beat, but they're giving it an old Chevy name, the Spark.
The Spark is a microcar currently sold in markets including India and South America, but this new car has pretty much nothing to do with it. It takes all it's styling for the Beat and, unlike the Spark, will actually be sold in North America. Originally, the triplet of concept cars was not meant for the American market.
But, apparently, the market has changed enough (and it has certainly changed) that pretty much the whole world will be able to buy one.

Personally, I would have voted for Ron (Re-Open Nominations), because none of their 3 options look that good, they look too blocky, and not streamlined enough, but this one does look much better than the ones that looked like a mini-SUV, and a mini-van.

What the WHOLE WORLD need now is not a fancy electric car. We need an electric motor and batteries to fit in our existing cars, trucks and busses. Anyone out there that REALLY wants to make money, and help those that can not afford electric cars?
