Chevrolet announced that it will show the next generation Aveo (designated as a 2011 model) at the Detroit autoshow in January. The lineup will include a hatchback and sedan. They will also have an Aveo RS as a concept. According to Autoblog the RS will be powered by a turbocharged EcoTec, maybe the same 1.4 unit that sits in the Cruze. In general, Chevy will promote the Aveo as a sporty alternative in the B-sgement.

I know there are some people on this board who are waiting for a sporty Fiesta. If Chevy popped out a performance Aveo before the Fiesta ST (or whatever its gonna be) would you buy it instead?
