Consumer Reports has been literal scum since the 90's. Ive hated them ever since they falsified their tests and findings to try and make the Suzuki Samurai tippy (and even after making the slalom course tighter they only managed to bicycle it once when trying). I literally loathe that rag publication because thanks to them I cant buy a damn Suzuki Jimny here in the US. All becausre they had an unfair gripe with the Samurai.

Oh god, lets hope. I would massively prefer crank wondows, hate power windows. Im loving this 2016 refresh. Hope I can fit in it, I have a massive problem with leg room in relation to the dash/center console. I hate cars I cant move my right leg around in. The current Spark is fine but the Sonic is awful for leg room. Big reason is I like sitting really close to the wheel despite the fact Im a big guy. I feel more in control when closer. Always causes leg room issues.

Thought I had read somewhere from recently and on out that Opel will be in charge of designing all eco boxes for GM? I dont mind the car being built in Korea, thats fine. But when you have them designing and what not Im always really hesitant. Its getting better nowadays but I still wont buy Hyundais and Kias unless they're platform engineered or badge enginnered from other companies (like the first gen Sprtage being mostly Mazda components).

Opel now. Better than Korean, thats for sure

http://www.caranddriver.com/news/2016-chevrolet-spark-photos-and-info-news I like it. I was checking out Sparks and knew to wait just to see the new one since the reveal was close. Liking what I see so far. Longer wheelbase, shorter height, looks a bit more reserved, and a nice power boost. Anyone have any idea when they might start rolling into dealers? I dont know year to year release schedules, I dont pay much attention to new vehicles. If they can keep the base price around the same ($13k-ish totally base) I would seriously consider a 2016 model.
