#1 Keep those aggressive good look.
#2 Keep the price low
#3 Fuel economy must be best or damn near best in class.
26/35mpg isn't going to cut it. I'd love to see something like this get 35/45mpg, Prius mileage in a better looking package for 60% the price. This could be GMs mini cooper or smart car. (success wise)

Is the Aveo that much bigger than them to warrant it not a succesor?
Besides, the Metro was a Suzuki. Too bad they killed it just before the gas prices.
But I think for anything close to 30 in the city, you need a new G series motor(suzuki).
Honda has IMA , integrated motor assist, basically an electric motor in the engine connected to the crankshaft, turn it on when you need extra oomph for like, serious low rpm cruising or WOT acceleration. Their ECA1 was a 3cyl with IMA, it powered the Insight(first Civic Hybrid). Thing is a marvel, it is very close to the Prius.

Heck, maybe Chrysler will bring a version of the Metro back.
