The Spark isn't a great looking car to start with, but it's a beauty queen next to that thing.

I call it unique, but I still confuse it with a Sonic on occasion.
45mpg and $12 fillups are not bad either

Well, it's obviously a great car compared to the Camaro. It's got great visibility, a lot of rear seat and trunk room, unlike the lowly 6thGen Camaro.

All of the attributes people look for in a great coupe are in the Spark, and not in the Camaro....lol....

I'm doing fine, I have not been on much lately. Camaro doing great. Driving it back to my Brothers house this weekend. Found out a couple weeks ago my 93 year old mother has multiple brain tumors and they have given her less than 6 months. So I will probably be going there at least once a month to see her.

Obviously you are being sarcastic there....
Since everyone knows the Spark is not a Coupe...

Do the Spark and Sonic compete with each other? The Sonic doesn't seem to be much bigger than the Spark. I assume those two cars are subcompacts and the Cruz is a compact?

[FenwickHockey65]

Spark is a "city car" along the lines of a smart FourTwo or Scion iQ. Sonic is a subcompact that competes with Fiesta, Versa, Yaris, etc.

The "city car" designation makes sense because the Spark doesn't look highway-worthy, though I'm sure it drives perfectly fine on high speed interstates. Kind of like the comparison of a raft (Spark) versus a cruise ship (Impala) for sailing on the high seas.

Just got back driving mine on a 500 mile round trip to Atlanta. Used $20 in gas no problems on the interstate keeping up with traffic...
