The news I've read is vague on when these cars will go on sale in North America. But I just read a preview that says sales would be starting "about now".

Basic specs:
- 1.2 L, 4-cyl engine
- Horsepower (hp / kW): 85.2 / 63.5 @ 6400 (est)* (source: GM)
- Torque (lb-ft / Nm): 81.7 / 110.8 @ 4200 (est)*
- Curb weight base (lb / kg): 2269 / 1029 (manual)
- 5-speed manual
- optional engine block heater for $75
- $12,995 (including destination)
GM hasn't announced fuel economy figures yet. But it's safe to bet it'll be good for 40+ mpg highway, 30+ city. I'll go on record with a guess of 35 mpg city, 42 highway.
It's ~450 lbs fatter and 30 hp angrier than a base Geo Metro was - is this as close as we'll get to Metro 2.0?
