“Spark is for buyers who want much more than a ‘cute’ small car – they want a car that can be personalized, is dynamic and fashionable, and delivers a lot of value for the money,” said Chris Perry, vice president, global Chevrolet marketing and strategy.
In India Chevrolet Beat is considered as the most stylish car in it’s segment. The sales of Chevrolet Beat were not very promising till it’s diesel variant launch in July 2011. After the launch of diesel variant, Chevrolet Beat manages to crack 5000+ sales consistently. So GM India may leave current generation Beat untouched for some time now. What do you think? Shouldn’t we deserve a more sportier Beat..?
