GM has a new little dinky car in their headquarters showroom called the Spark. It is little like the Fit, maybe even smaller. 4 seats and a little room in the back. Starting price is $13,000. Upgrades to about $16,000. Looks like a neat car for kids. No information on mileage. Anyone know much about it? It looks better made than typical cheapo GM cars.
IIRC, the successor to Daewoo (GM Korea or something like that) also did the lion's share of the work on the Cruze and Sonic, too. Typical GM- nice cars when new, but who knows how long they'll hold up.

You're right, that's what it is--GM Korea. I guess that's the ex Daewoo. I'll be interested to see how they last.
It's the successor to the Aveo, and Warren Brown liked it in his column in The Washington Post. As a city car, it is not a bad vehicle at all, though like others of its size, I'd not want to take one on the highway. It could be a decent vehicle, unlike that Daewoo-sourced Captiva that Hertz has tried to force upon me twice in the last month.

Wrong, the Sonic is the Aveo. The Spark is something new. Closer to being a replacement for the Metro or Chevette
I don't think the Captiva is a Daewoo. It's a Saturn Vue with teal interior lighting instead of amber. I don't think GM has enough production capacity for the Terrain and Equinox to handle fleet sales, so they dump the Mexican-market Captiva here too now. They're fleet only, because the MSRP is similar to the Equinox and it's nowhere near as nice or as modern. They're starting to hit the used car market.
