2013 Chevrolet Sonic Concept Chevrolet wants to make a big impact on the SEMA show with its small car lineup, which includes the 2013 Chevrolet Spark, 2013 Chevrolet Sonic, and 2013 Chevrolet Cruze. While some may be surprised Chevrolet brought to the U.S. the ultra-small Spark, the initial response has been strong, and it's a central player in the automaker's SEMA show presence.

Another significant debut is of the Z-Spec brand, a line of aftermarket accessories that will be available for purchase and installation from Chevrolet dealerships. Chevrolet says that the Sonic and Spark Z-Spec concepts could lead to limited-edition production models -- a good idea if the automaker wants to maintain interest levels in the two small cars in the next few years. "The content, colors and performance of each concept is being evaluated for possible production as Chevrolet continues to seek new ways to give customers more choices," said Chris Perry, vice president of Chevrolet marketing, in a release.
