    I drive a 2015 Chevy Spark, the gas version. The ev version was discontinued in 2016, the gas version was discontinued in 2022. The Chevy Sonic, a similar, but slightly larger model was discontinued in 2020. The Chevy Bolt, an ev and larger, but still compact model and a successor to the Spark and Sonic was discontinued this year. It’s become apparent that most Americans do not like small cars. I don’t think much can be done to make small cars likable here, I’d love to be able to drive a car like the Honda E, but there’s no market for it here.

      Honda also pulled the fit. Such a fantastic car no other ones in the US segment came close.

      Same in Europe, small cars either get discontinued or transformed into a SUV…
