Those tail lamps are more out of place than me in a Bath and Bodyworks. Seriously that whole rear end is wrong.

Yap the car is ugly...
I dont understand one thing...Why does electric cars have to look ugly??? Sure they want to reduce the cost and stuff...but why do they always screw up the Body and Styling of the vehicle???
Just because its cheap and environmentally friendly, it doesn't have to be the ugliest car in the world.
Come on Chevy, how do you suppose the world is going to get greener if you guys keep coming up with catastrophically ugly cars??? Wake up...have you ever heard of Tesla Roadster, Fisker Karma, Dodge Circuit, BMW 1-Electric, Chevy Volt...now those are some seriously hot piece of EVs and PHEVs.

The Chevy Spark EV is based on the outgoing old gen Spark/Matiz which was launched in 2005.

@CarLife, this is smaller than an Aveo.

My wife has the 2007 petrol model and its very reliable. Not quick and very little power, but hasnt given us days trouble.

its got some weird colour scheme but its basically a facelifted Matiz which has been around since 1998... so I'm surprised everyones shocked by the design. Its been a staple of rental firms for ages

You are right, to add more, the design it self is 17 year old, originally the ItalDesign Luciola, a rejected Fiat 500 study:

Well, I guess we can be happy it's not another green or blue EV. I'm sick of the same color being used to connote 'green' tech! Show something more. And the back, yeah, it's weird; they added Volt elements to this car that don't relate at all, esp. since the back is not a big piece of glass painting it to look like one is really odd. @abughaleb good call on the old ItalDesign 500 study, amazing the shape lived on...
