General Motors previously said that the Chevrolet Spark (the production version of the Chevy Beat) and the Chevrolet Orlando would not come to the U.S. However, as consumer demand shifts to more compact and fuel-efficient cars, GM has changed its mind.

The 2010 Chevrolet Spark and the 2010 Chevrolet Orlando will both come to the U.S. market in 2011. The Chevy Spark will make its world debut in full-production form at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show in March – sales will begin in Europe starting the first-quarter of 2010. Production and availability plans for the 2010 Chevrolet Orlando will be released in the coming months.

No word on what will be under the hood of both vehicles.

    The lines on the Orlando give this vehicle a very elegant look. The way the roof line chops off at the rear is very stylish and eye catching! The interior is unlike a GM interior. It's simple with a very nice flow to it. No gaudy pieces at all on this car! The only gripe are the wheels, I'd like to see the 20" wheels from the Traverse on this vehicle

    I think it is impressive that GM can desing a car that you clean snow off the headlamps by putting you hand out of the window!!

    Is the Spark's syling from the High Speed Impact school of design or is the Pug look the new trend at GM?

    Does Rick wagoner have a Pug named Sparky and this is the inspiration for the Spark?

    Lord help us if the GM designers are inspired by Wagoner's toilet.
