    Default Well...The New Aveo RS looks....

    ...surprisingly decent.











    For the first time ever, an Aveo will actually have the hardware to be considered a hot hatch. Power in the RS comes from the turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder producing 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque that will also do service in the larger Cruze. The torque gets sent to those over sized 19-inch wheels through a proper six-speed manual gearbox. Chevrolet hasn't yet publicly committed to building an RS version of the next-gen production Aveo, but since this engine will already be in production for the Cruze at GM's Flint engine plant, we'd be surprised if it didn't eventually show up in the lineup.
    GM may actually have something here if they go through with it...

    That looks better than your Fit
    I wonder if that will actually be produced just like that or if it will differ. Nice find.

    I would have liked to see the Colbalts turbo-charged engine in it, instead of the 1.4. But everyone is going for MPG these days.

    shouldnt have 19''s..

    tires are expensive, no reason for the car to have 19''s..

    rotational mass will also bring the MPG down.

    17''s at most. but the car looks good.

    I agree, not only are the wheels to big, but ugly in my book.

    I like it though. Needs more power to be considered a "Hot Hatch"
    That's why I'd like to see the colbalt SS/TC engine in it
