It's amazing that the Chevy Aveo looked better when it was a Daewoo Kalos.

And the Malibu looked better when it was a Vectra.

Ya know with all these new ity bitty clown cars coming out, I'm hoping there won't be a new wave of baby ricers too, lol.
Honestly though, some of these things I'd be afraid to be in... imagine getting in a wreck! Can you say death?

Man: Do you find something comical about my appearance when driving my automobile?
Nelson: Uh huh.
Man: Everyone needs an automobile, even the very tall. This happened to be the largest one I could afford. Should I, therefore, remain the subject of fun?
Nelson: I guess so.
Man: Uh, huh, wha? How would you like it if we made fun of you? HUH?! [Pulls down Nelson's pants.] Now march! .... Look everyone, it's that boy who always laughs at everyone. Maybe we should laugh at him....Wave to the people.... Blow them kisses!
Crowd: Ha ha!
Nelson: Wah wah.

Now with the prospect of FWD, a Mitsubishi engine and a Brazilian factory, I could care less.

I still can't help but feel that the Aveo has more of a "sporting" feel to it. Finally Chevrolet will have a vehicle that can pay adequate homage to the 3-cylinder Metro. May all Metro enthusiasts run out into the streets and rejoice... -Mike

All kidding aside...the Daewoo Kalos got decent reviews in this UK story.
http://www.easypcp.co.uk/index.cfm?I...2&reviewid=550
Note again...how much better it looked as a Daewoo.
The one in the story has a 1.4L......I'm sure the Aveo SS will pack the full 1.6 motor.
