Next Generation Barina

[rjastra]

The Spark is the replacement for the Matiz (remember that!)

The next Barina is still in development and will be larger than the Spark.

+ 1 most definitely

IMO those smart cars are the worst looking vehicle I've probably ever laid eyes on, I cringe whenever I see one on the roads, would not want to be in one of those in a pile up either !!!!

Has been written in articles as being the car to replace the Aveo...

[Red AH SRI T]

Those articles are incorrect. This IS the replacement for the Matiz, not the Aveo.

Why would GM replace the Aveo when the updated model only just came out?

[Red AH SRI T]

GM previously announced that the Spark will be sold essentially unchanged across the world. Sales will start in Europe featuring 1.0 and 1.2-liter 16-valve four-cylinder double overhead camshaft gasoline engines, delivering excellent fuel efficiency and low emissions.

1.0 and 1.2 liter engines are the same size as the current Matiz/Spark

[MatsHolden]

when the Spark arrives in the U.S. a larger engine will be standard, most likely GM’s 1.6-liter Ecotec four.

From the 'examiner'. Will be interesting to see where the Spark fits into the range since there are a lot of differing reports.

Because the update is only just a face lift and the basic car dates back to 2003! So would be due for a full new model.
