Default Chevy Aveo Concept

If by chance we thought about the Chevrolet Aveo at all during the past several years, it was usually because of its unfortunate styling and cheap feel. Starting with next week's 2010 Detroit Auto Show, Chevy is out to change the Aveo's image into a product that we might actually desire. The process begins with the Aveo RS concept, which provides a preview of what to expect from the next-generation production Aveo when it arrives in showrooms sometime next year.

Read the full article here:

http://www.autoblog.com/gallery/chev...eo-rs-concept/

Commentary: I think GM is finally getting the message and is coming out with better designs. On a slightly different note, I highly doubt the real Aveo will look like this. Why the heck to automakers always come out with fancy good looking concepts, only to dumb them down for the masses when the vehicle enters production? If the concept looks better then build the damn concept as is.

I'm really impressed with the concept. That's a huge difference compared to today's Aveo's

Exactly. That's why concepts never make the light of day. No one would buy them at the price it'd cost to make them in mass production.

I love how every car maker steals design ideas from Honda.

He's probably referring to the fact that it looks a lot like a newer Honda FIT.
