It looks angry for some reason. Maybe because the plate on the back still says "Aveo"?   :rofl2:

Anything that replaces the Aveo can only be an improvement!

The front end looks like the love child of a Mitsubishi Lancer and VW Golf.

Visually to me its....so so, not that bad. Except for that piece of cheap looking black plastic slapped on the lead edge of the C pillar.

2012 Chevy Sonic shown off as sedan and hatchback
http://www.autoblog.com/2011/01/10/2012-chevy-sonic-shown-off-as-hatchback-and-sedan/

The sedan is a bit cartoonish (Hot Wheel) but the hatch looks great.  The interior seems decent and original.

I collect Hot Wheels, so I like the looks of the sedan.   :)

The interior looks like a cleaned up modern version of the Astra interior...I like it.

It comes with the Cruze's engines too... with the 1.4T in this it might be a fun to drive car with it's small size. Any word on the weight?

Good question.  Hopefully the suspension is set up right and the weight is kept down.  With a 1.4T straight out of the factory this could become a favourite with tuners.  A re-tune/intake/exhaust and you could have a seriously fun and frugal car.
