2012 Chevrolet Sonic (Aveo replacement)
Pretty impressive. The new Yaris has it's work cut out for it.

I like the 2 door version, it kind of looks like a Soul.

yea.. i like where the rear door handles are placed behind the back windows. they should have done the same with the front doors also i think like the NSX and new GT-R to have that nice clean smooth look onthe sides

Still has the flat, "fall on your face" look to the interior. Like it looks sharp but still bland in typical GM fashion, the hatchback version does anyways.
Atleast they didn't pull a Ford/Chrysler and use the same "tic-tac" styled radio that they've been using for the passed 25 years. I'm interested to see what the price will be on the cars when they come out It's kind of sad to see Toyota still sitting on their thumbs doing nothing with the Yaris in terms of performance or real updates. I don't know if Toyota is still stuck on the whole "vanilla, A to B transportation" game or not, but things are changing around them, if they don't change soon they will be left behind. Performance for the masses is starting to make a comeback and unless Toyota changes it's old fogey typical buyer concept, I fear for the worse.

BTW, this will be the ONLY small car built in America. Props to GM for doing this. It's nearly impossible to make a small car profitable when built in America.

factory f/i ftw
prefer the look of the sedan to the hatch as 33OH pointed out on MI, its odd that the sedan is a 5 bolt and the hatch is a 4 bolt

I guess us Americans like doing things the hard/expensive way... heh Either that or those are just representations of what its going to look like and not actual cars? PS> Sonic Turbo is only 138HP? and its a 1.4l step down from the standard 1.8l offered? WTF?

138hp will be the most you can get in the sub-compact class, by far. That is a lot of power in a Yaris sized car. The Yaris is pretty swift with a meager 106hp. How can this be criticized?

the 1.4L has a small, quick spooling turbo to get more tq. reviews ive read say the 1.4L feels like a larger engine, but w/ the economy of a 1.4L +/- hell, id take the factory turbo option, thanks

i really like the looks of this little car. the big round headlights make it look a tad more manly for a tiny car. they gotta have good mpg to compete with the new hyundais.
