The shift pattern doesn't match the press release.

What gives?

KCALB SIRAY · 01-20-2011, 01:20 PM

I'd rock the hatch. Well done.

looks like a little toy, not a serious look just "HI IM SONIC!"

Australia and Asia make pretty neat cars for GM.

The Sonic is purely American. In fact it will be the only small car built in the USA. Even the Fiesta is built in Mexico.

Interesting car, the "z spec" concept is fugly though haha I like the look of the sedan.
It does share the same engines with the cruze which is mostly euro design, Not that thats a bad thing.

The images of the hatchback from the Detroit show remind me of the unveiling of the Yaris years ago (see pic of the Jarno Trulli special edition prototype below). Same bright red colour, big wheels, high gloss, probably lowered a bit... Now compare that to the average Yaris you see on the streets and you see why I'm not that confident about those great looks of the Sonic reaching every streetcorner...

it also doesnt have the RC Wire sticking out if the roof and i really like those lights on the bottom of the bumper beside where the fogs normally go

BluYrs · 01-25-2011, 02:04 AM

Exactly. It's the little things you don't really notice unless you own the same model.

My bad. GM has been re-badging Suzukis, Daihatsus, Toyotas, Opels, Isuzus and Holdens for so long I just assumed wrongly that it was a re-badged Asian make.

To me, interior sort of looks like it took its cues from Hyundai or Honda, which is good.

A fair assumption. The outgoing Aveo is Korean built by GM's South Korean subsidiary GM Daewoo.

The current Aveo has sold as the following models worldwide...

Chevrolet Kalos
Chevrolet Lova
Daewoo Gentra
Daewoo Kalos
Holden Barina
Pontiac G3
Pontiac Wave
Suzuki Swift

Looks like I got my D's wrong, I meant Daewoo, not Daihatsu

Finally a small car from gm I would actually own. I seems for the past 10 years they have been stuck building very bland rental cars. I really can't stand gm though they rebadge cars to death the gmc arcadia is rebadged like 5 times. Most car companies just platform share but gm just swaps out the badges and makes the wheels look different they are a very lazy car company.

I wonder what the interior of the base model will look like?
