Hockey: what transmission did you get?

Chevy started a fight with Nissan for "cheapest new car MSRP" in Canada: they introduced the redesigned Spark at a $9995 base price, undercutting the Micra's $9998 price. Then Nissan retaliated at $9988. Sadly, Chevy held its ground.

But you don't get air conditioning (and a bunch of other stuff) in the base models.
