I think the biggest potential problem is the way it looks.

I'm normally indifferent to styling, but this car really hurts my eyes. (This coming from someone who's been driving around with a 4-foot cardboard boat tail taped on his car for the past week.)

On another blog, one commenter posted: "The Aztek Lives!"

That doesn't bode well at all.

Also: I love the caption under the photo: "GM Global Vehicle Line Executive Jack Keaton test-drove Spark on crowded Michigan expressway."

As if to say: this guy deserves a medal for doing something so obviously preposterous!!
