2013 Chevrolet Spark Review Price Specification

 You may call the 2013 Chevrolet Spark "unique" without upsetting defenders of the English language. "Unique" means "one of a kind," so "very unique" is poor wording, and describing an item as "unique" when there are other things like it is wrong.
 
The Spark is Chevys new A-segment mini. Three other cars sold in the U.S. compete in this size category, and none is like this Bowtie A-car. It certainly has none of the cartoonish character of the Fiat 500, and its more than $3000 cheaper than the op-art design, two-door hatchback Scion iQ, a car surprisingly substandard in its driving dynamics, especially for a Toyota product. The only competitor that comes close to the Sparks $12,995 price is the Smart Fortwo, a two-door two-seater that serves as a strong argument for the commuter biking movement.

The Chevy Spark, which goes on sale in August or September, is the only four-door hatchback in the A-segment with reasonably comfortable space for four adults. It is unique. A pure electric version is scheduled to hit the market next year.
 
The rear seat, with cupholders dividing left from right, has generous headroom and pretty good legroom, with a necessarily short seat cushion. The car is tall: one inch taller than the already upright Sonic B-car. With the Sparks rear seats up, theres not much more cargo space than in the Fortwo. But who combines grocery shopping with double dates? Flip and fold the rear seats and the Spark offers 31.2 cubic-feet of volume, Chevy says.




 Thats why Chevy offers the Spark with a rather large 7-inch touchscreen MyLink radio bereft of a CD player. Like the MyLink units in other Chevrolet vehicles, it can run apps when paired with a smart phone. Pandora and Stitcher are available at launch and Chevy is promising a special navigation app later this year, called BringGo (not to be confused with Bringgo.com, which appears to be selling counterfeit products from China). We got to sample a preproduction version of the mapping software running on an iPhone during the 30 or so miles we drove, and it not only looked great but performed perfectly, including restarting its guidance after we turned the car off and temporarily undocked the phone. We are firm believers in using portable navigation technology and glad to see Chevy adopting this solution rather than spec-ing a dedicated nav unit.

Bonus then for the Spark: Its actually a real car. At 144.7 inches long, the Spark is within two inches of the Mini Cooper hardtop, and its 93.5-inch wheelbase is almost two inches longer than the Mazda MX-5 Miata roadster. But the Spark is over three inches narrower and almost half a foot taller than the Mini. (For those of you who might have dropped freshman Physics in favor of something less math-y, short and squat is as desirable for handling as it isnt for getting a date.) At 11 cubic feet, cargo capacity isnt huge, but its better than the others in this class. On the plus side – pun intended – the Sparks EPA passenger volume of 86 cubic feet is fairly huge, topping the Ford Fiesta hatchback, which is ostensibly a class up in the B-segment.


 So Chevy is pitting a bigger car against littler ones. Indeed, the Spark is some two feet longer than the iQ and has five inches on the 500, yet its powertrain is remedial compared to its classmates. The Sparks 1.2-liter four-cylinder (actually 1249 cc, the extra 50 cc being a concession to U.S. market tuning) employs variable valve timing to make all of 84 horsepower and 83 lb-ft of torque, meaning that with a curb weight of 2,237 pounds, each of the Sparks horses has to move almost 27 pounds of weight. By comparison, the Fiestas ratio is only 1:21. Both the iQ (94 hp, 89 lb-ft) and the 500 (101 hp, 98 lb-ft) offer more power and torque, and the accompanying better power-to-weight ratios, as well. source:motortrend.com,autoblog.com

2013 Chevrolet Corvette

Older and is not a traditional sports car. For 59 years, builds the Chevrolet Corvette.


In 1953, Chevrolet oneself against radical roadsters by American standards. Two years earlier, the legendary designer Harley Earl, GMs chief executive, who had invented the tail fin, in a race in the Chevrolet Corvette: unrecognized ModellathletWatkins Glen is an elegant open two-seater Jaguar dropped into the eye, the XK 120th To develop the new athletes can really secretly, gave the project the code name "Opel". After the start of series production, the demand was for the two-seater, however limited. An ancient pre-war six-cylinder brought by far not the performance that could be expected to form. Only from 1955 the career of the oldest and most successful sports car in the world was right to ride as General Motors "small block" V8 introduced. The technically simple eight-cylinder with a central camshaft between the cylinder banks and the control valve became instantly using push rod to the standard engine in the Corvette.

Currently, the Corvette is the sixth generation. The C6 has developed to date for the highly talented sports equipment. The 4.44-meter-long two-seater coupe and the convertible is a "convertible" available. The "Small Block" with its eight combustion units has reached 6.2 liters. What not the end of the story is, because the Z06 performance version brings it to a flat seven liters. The "base Vette" appeals to the heart and ignorance with 321 kW/437 hp. As the only 1461 pounds, a maximum of two people and move full tank 69 liter fuel must be the amino snaps from a standing start in 4.5 seconds to 100 kph, and provides exactly 300 km / h.

How to childhood, the eight-cylinder engine is content with one central camshaft and only two valves per cylinder, the unabated get their power via push rods. Despite alloy for block and head, forged pistons and titanium connecting rods for the Z06, the spoiled of many valves per cylinder, variable valve timing and twin-turbo European sports car enthusiast is still inclined Chevrolet Corvette: turn up to unrecognized model athlete a nose on the American "stone-age technology."

The performance of the V8 is completely flawless. The fact that a displacement dertiger automatically generates a torque-like steam engines, illustrated by a numerical comparison. The Corvette is from 4 600 r / min 575 Nm available, the current Porsche 911 Carrera with 257 kW/350 hp, the sheet has 390 Nm at 5 600 r / min. Thanks to the extremely high-ratio sixth gear of the Chevrolet Corvette circuit can relax and move long distances especially amazing frugal. What are the trade journal "auto motor und sport" demonstrated impressive in its issue 11/2012. An editor put the 622 kilometers from Stuttgart to the editors at Lausitzring quite speedy return ride with 56 liters. Which corresponds to a practical use of nine liters per 100 kilometers.

The Swabian car magazine had ennobled the Corvette already in issue 8/2012. The tester had the Z06 with 377 kW/512 hp Vresion strengthened in a comparison test with the 380 kW/517 hp Mercedes C 63 AMG is sent. The American sports car decided not only for the comparison test, he presented with a stopping distance of 30.5 meters from 100 km to the best brake test point in the history of the magazine.
