I saw a pink Spark about a week ago in Ohio when I was visiting relatives. Nice little car. The gas mileage is disappointing, however, but that seems to be the norm for these tiny cars (see SMART Fortwo, Fiat 500, Toyota Yaris, Honda Fit...not one of those cars is rated for over 38 mpg). My guess is in the hands of even a mild hypermiler, the manual tranny versions could easily get over 50 mpg (as could the other cars listed).
