2016 Chevrolet Spark

Looks better without the exaggerated headlights but now they look like Hyundai headlights, particularly off the Accent. Everyone including GM has been surprised by the car's sales. A - segment cars almost always fail in the US.

And the reason A-segment cars almost always fail is because every manufacturer other than Chevrolet has offered them as two-door cars with two usable seats—they're impractical. Chevy offered a four-door car that can actually seat four adults and didn't overprice the vehicle. The Fiat 500, Smart ForTwo, and Scion iQ are all expensive and impractical.

As far as the fuel economy thing, c'mon guys: You know how this works! People say the Yaris should be getting 50 MPG. Small engines have to work harder to move their mass. A freaking Corvette is rated at 29 MPG highway. Gearing, power, weight all play a factor.
