Default 2012 Chevrolet Sonic/Aveo

2012 Chevy Sonic shown off as sedan and hatchback — Autoblog

Available with 138 hp engine, However the sedan doesn't looks as good as those initial spy shots had indicated

*edit*
On further examination the press release says it has 10 airbags!

Not interested in the Sonic. Very pleased with my Fiesta.

I like the sedan better than the hatch. Just like with the Fiesta. Only problem is that it's still a Chevy.

Pretty nice. I like the front end of that more then the Fiesta. Not too crazy about the rear end on the sedan or the hatch and the side looks kinda plain. Interior looks great, very wraped around looking, not sure how that would actually workout, but looks good on picture. Really like the seats, looks like great bolster on it, something I wish the Fiesta seats had. Do not like the instruament readout at all, guess they are trying to do like mini. Engine choice is nice, wonder what can be done aftermarket to the 1.4turbo.

Honestly, a very nice lookin chevy and it diffinently would be in the running if I was still in the market, although the rearend of the hatch is ugly. Maybe an aftermarket spoiler can improve it to where I'd like it, because I really like the front and find it to be a better looking car then the Fiesta and other cars in this range from that angle.

I'd like a look at options, colors, standard features, etc. However a totally electronic speedo with all the other gadgets is NOT to my liking. I like the analog tach/speedo pairing of the Fiesta.

didn't note any armrest on Sonic either. Center dash area looks strangely like Fiesta with the wings.

Well whether you like it or not this is a good looking mini-car. GM got the looks right. They always let you down somehow. So it will drive like a pig or sound terrible inside or be on QA hold for 2 moths after it was supposed to be released. They will screw it up.

The last good little car GM made was the Corvair. It really is a great little car, that why I have one. Next came the Vega. I was a car from h***. I had the Pontiac version. I averaged a repair a month! Next was the Monza, it was just a restyled Vega. Just as bad. Next the Cavalier. Parents had one. They never bought a Chevy since. Colbalt and Aveo were in the bottom of their classes. Now we are susposed to believe thay hava a winner.

Interesting that they essentially used a motorcycle gauge cluster.

I like the Sedan better than their Hatchback; it's too boxy. I do like the more distinctive front.

see... I really don't like the front on the Sonic... looks too blunted to me. Like a pig snout.
