wheels.....

I don't know if the wheels are really that small or if the headlights and fender are that big.

holycrap- edmunds' specs claim they're 17"s !!!

I would've sworn on a stack of vintage Cadillac owner's manuals they were 15"s at the largest (they look like 13"s to me). Proportionally, they should be 20"s, minimum.

Also see it measures a full 60" tall. True cars haven't been regularly that tall since the early 1950s.

Hudson made a big splash with their Monobilt Unibody chassis for '48, notable for getting down to a 60" overall height.

The irony is that mankind in general is growing wider far quicker than they are taller... but the Spark is only 63" wide. The Hudson had a much more accommodating 77" width, and thus; a really nice envelope.

What wacked out proportions on the Spark- nearly a square. Harley Earl is spinning near redline. At the rate things are going, basic cars will very soon be taller than they are wide.

The taller height gives plenty of headroom, who knows, maybe retro-hipsters will make the tophat cool again...

Odd... everywhere else I checked says the massive alloys are 15". But, Edmunds says 17", breaking with the pack.

Balthy, interesting comments about the wheel size... your F-150 had 15" wheels, and they didn't look tiny on there, think of that... how, as vehicle proportions change, our perceptions go along for the ride. My Fiesta had 15" alloys, but before that, my last vehicle with wheels that small was my 2004 Colorado, and they looked proportionate at the time with the 265/75 tires!

To be dead serious, that Top Gear video of the black one makes me miss my Fiesta.

Chevy UK site lists them as 13s. Autoblog says the US version gets 15 inchers.

I think the US version gets the big wheels: http://www.autoblog....-spark-la-2011/

EDIT: Chevy's press release at the Autoblog article confirms... 15" alloys standard on every model, along with power windows and a/c!

Looks like the show car was wearing larger rims- mayhaps thats where the 17" figure came from.

Doesn't seem to be a leaked brochure online yet (tho perhaps there is and no one really cares... )

I didn't look closely at the wheels of the green one on display at B-J last month, but they were probably 15s. Saw a green one behind a Scion iQ in traffic last week.

Pssstttt ... that was actually Forza 4.

hahaha omg I was wondering about the first few frames of the presentation. It's wild tho!

So repulsive.
