Look out, the new Chevy Aveo 5-door wants to eat you
http://www.autoblog.com/2007/08/13/f...door-wants-to/
 Click image for gallery The Chevy Aveo has never been a car to set one's heart racing, but the restyled 2007 edition in sedan form is a decent-looking economy car with a visually appealing interior. Here in the US, the Aveo5 hatchback retained its old looks, which were nothing special, and we all assumed that at some point it would take on the same freshened appearance of the sedan. Well, we were wrong. Chevy will introduce a revised Aveo 5-door next month in Frankfurt for the European market, but those looking for a hatchback version of the sedan that all markets share will be disappointed. And possibly even frightened. That's because the Aveo hatchback's new face has taken the Chevy split-grille to the extreme, adopting an oversized, angry maw bissected by a substantial Bowtie-adorned crossbar. The upturned headlights augment the angry look, but all that visual aggression backed only by a pair of docile four-bangers putting out 84 hp (1.2L ) or 98 hp (1.4L). The Aveo even gets a trendy side extractor vent on the front fender, leading us to believe that it's probably time to put that styling cue to bed. On the upside, Aveo now has something in common with Cadillac. GM also says the hatchback sports a new interior, but has not yet released photos. We're guessing it's the same one found in the sedan. The European models will launch in March of next year. Will the new Aveo 5-door come to the U.S.? We certainly hope not looking like that.

Re: Look out, the new Chevy Aveo 5-door wants to eat you
i like the new look. but it needs to get rid of the fender vent- thats a little too much and thats supposed to be a caddy thing.

Re: Look out, the new Chevy Aveo 5-door wants to eat you
Hey! I actually like that (minus the fender vent. Enough is enough). It's not some cheap, tacked on pile of chrome like the sedan's aweful grill. It looks like they actually designed the car for it to be there. It's a part of the car.
They're taking the Ford approach and leaving the greenhouse alone I see. It works I suppose.  Bleh.

Re: Look out, the new Chevy Aveo 5-door wants to eat you
I suppose it's good that they've had the sense not to leave it festering for the rest of it's life, but to my eyes it's yet another facelift that has ruined a perfectly good looking car.
Compare Kalos to this gawping mong-faced turd and you can see how badly it went...!  to  Yup a new face for a new Chevrolet but still very very ugly. |

I see they were able to use the left over Uplander grilles no one wanted on this smaller car.
