Chevrolet Spark: The New Guy in Town

This stylish little guy’s first-gen has been bobbing and weaving through European streets for a year now, but it’ll be arriving fashionably on time on the American scene this summer… meet the 2013 Chevrolet Spark!

With fun little sentences being used such as, ‘Affordability meets swagger.’ and ‘Spark may have a starting price lower than a limbo stick after five rounds’ and ‘It’s parking where most fear to parallel.’ how could you not fall in love with this smart little spark?!

Fun is fantastic, but we all like to see the numbers: (visit us for more details)

• Transmission: 5 speed manual
• Engine: 1.2L L4 DOHC 16 valves, 85hp @ 6400 rpm, 81lbs/ft of torque @ 4200 rpm
• Length/weight: 144.6inches / 2,268.5lb
• Wheelbase: 93.5inches
• EPA fuel economy: Information not available at this time, but the tank is 35L
• Trunk Size: 11.4 cubic feet with a maximum trunk size of 31.2 cubic feet (more passenger and cargo room than other mini cars such as the Fiat 500, Smartfortwo and Scion IQ)

Let’s talk about the fun stuff again… There are the standard colors like Silver Ice Metallic, Denim, Salsa and Summit White. But for those people who are anything but standard, Spark can be styled in more adventurous shades like Lemonade, Techno Pink and Jalapeño, all with interior accents to match. You define you. So you define Spark.

We don’t have the Spark on our lot just yet… but we’re expecting them to arrive by the end of June, just in time for summer fun! Stop by then, and take the biggest little car to hit the streets of Glen Burnie out for a test drive!

Your Chevy ‘fuel efficient, hybrid’ Options

Fuel prices are high… and they’re not going to drop drastically any time soon, or ever. As fuel prices continue to rise, customers are more interested in fuel-efficient compacts and hybrids to find relief from the pump.

A recent survey of car shoppers on kbb.com found that 51% of respondents are now considering a smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicle, while 20% are considering an alternative-fuel vehicle such as a diesel or hybrid. “GM’s strategic investments in four-cylinder and turbocharged engines, advanced transmissions and vehicle electrification have been very well timed,” said Mark Reuss, president of GM North America. “Three years ago, about 16 percent of the vehicles GM sold achieved at least 30 mpg on the highway. Today, that number is about 40 percent, and we have more new fuel-economy leaders on the way…”

What are the Chevy fuel economy leaders on sale today? Here is the lowdown:                   (all mpg totals are estimated)

• Chevrolet Volt: mpg-e 95 city / 93 hwy / mpg 35 city / 40 hwy
• Chevrolet Cruze Eco: 28 city / 42 hwy
• Chevrolet Sonic: mpg 25-29 city / 35-40 hwy
• Chevrolet Malibu Eco: mpg 25 city / 38 hwy
• Chevrolet Cruze: mpg 25 city / 36 hwy
• Chevrolet Malibu: mpg 17-22 city / 26-33 hwy
• Chevrolet Equinox: mpg 22 city / 32 hwy
• Chevrolet Impala: mpg 18 city / 30 hwy
• Arriving this summer: Chevrolet Spark: mpg to be determined

GM Dealer of the Year

This past summer it was announced that JBA Chevrolet was given the prestigious 2010 Dealer of the Year award by General Motors…. we’re still celebrating our success!

We’re proud, can you blame us? This award is given to the top 2% of dealerships each year based on superior performance and dedication to customer service.

JBA Chevrolet’s President Joseph B. Aiello accepted the award on behalf of everyone at JBA Chevrolet. “We are honored to be recognized by General Motors and Chevrolet,” said Joseph Aiello.  “To earn this award, we not only had to be a top performer in sales, but also demonstrate a strong commitment to customer satisfaction in all areas of our business – sales, service and parts.  Our outstanding employees and management team help us achieve this goal each and every day.”

“My staff and I have gone to great lengths to provide a customer-friendly atmosphere both at our facility and online.  Our family has been selling and servicing Chevrolets in Glen Burnie since 1976.”

We hope you’ll stop by and visit us for all of your sales and service needs. We service all GM models and welcome Saturn customers to our facility.
