The question of whether or not General Motors will bring its diminutive Chevrolet Spark to the United States still doesn’t have a definitive answer. Thanks to a GM of India press release, however, we now know that the little urban runabout will be coming to North America, although that geography obviously also includes Mexico and Canada.
In the past, GM spokespeople have suggested that it might be possible for the Spark (A.K.A. “Beat,” or that unbearably irritating robot from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen) to be imported Stateside and that the automaker had kept U.S. regulations in mind when designing the car. Regardless, with gas as cheap as it currently is and a new Aveo just around the corner, we’re certainly not holding our breath for a U.S. launch any time soon, and we feel that seeing the Beat in Mexican and/or Canadian showrooms is more likely.
That said, feel free to hit the jump to read GM of India’s press release on the introduction of the Beat, which made its production-ready debut earlier in the week in New Delhi.
