News: GM promises a 4-seat Smart competitor with better MPG

Take this with a great big salt lick, but apparently part of GM's proposal to the US Congress yesterday includes an A class sized vehicle for the US market:

“The Plan includes introducing this market’s smallest four-passenger vehicle, achieving higher fuel economy than the two-passenger Smart ForTwo, the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid vehicle in the U.S. market today.”
Hm. Chevrolet Beat?
