New Compact

[moneysaver]

GM is going to be the first maker to build a compact car in the U.S. They ae planning to build 160,000 of them.

GM has plans to introduce the Chevrolet Spark in 2011. I seen pictures of it and it looks really cute. It is going to have four seats. It will come standard with 4 doors. It will be very good on gas with the motor of 4 cylinders.

Now GM might get another $30 billion in federal loans. They already have gotten $19.4 billion in loans so far.

I love the smaller cars. They are good on gas and they fit me well as I am on 4'11". Not so good for my hubby tho who is 6"4". LOL!!!

I love the compact cars but am concerned about the safety of them. I recently saw a crash test that they did with one and it really scared me.

I was glad that there was a dummy in it and not a live human being. It really crushed that little car and threw the dummy around quite a bit.

I wouldn't mind having somewhat of a smaller car than what I have now. Right now I have a mini van and it is kind of a gas guzzler. I wouldn't be able to get a compact car though, my family is just too big. There are five of us.
