2013 Chevrolet Spark Starts at $12,200
Although it's been on sale overseas since 2008, GM's tiny Spark will hit U.S. dealerships later this year with a less-than-tiny base price. Chevrolet's new-for-2013 Spark will start at $12,200. It may sound like a bargain, but Chevy's bigger Sonic starts only slightly higher at $13,865, though the Spark has standard power windows and the Sonic doesn't.
The subcompact four-door hatchback slots below the Sonic in Chevy's lineup. Power comes from a small 85-horsepower, 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine. A five-speed manual is standard; a four-speed automatic is available for $925, Chevy says.
Three trim levels will be offered: base LS, 1LT and 2LT.

Nice...too bad you will never see one at 12,200 on a car lot. Maybe 13,125 with the AT. It's a shame dealers don't order stripped down base models. More than likely you'll see dealers have this in the $15,000 range. Most Sonics in my area are in the 18,000 range...some over 20k
Wait, those 5 are the only colors? Bad idea Chevy, you need to at least have black and white for the less bombastic among us.
Also it's probably standard across the board, but does the car have power steering? Generally it's assumed, but in a car this small it could actually go without and be OK.
Chevrolet's website shows 8 colors: Salsa, Jalapeno, Denim, Lemonade,Techno Pink, Summit white, Silver Ice and (for an additional $175) Black Granite Metallic.
No sunroof option?
Bummer!
