Still needs a fuel economy boost...40 MPG would be nice.

It looks like a Mazda from the late 1990s/early 2000s.

I'm glad to see a car that doesn't have a goofy huge front end and giant headlights.

What the heck are you talking about? The new one's made in Mexico.

It's basically the Gentra X a Holden grille insert rather than a Daewoo one, pretty much like the G3 (gets a piggy nose over a Daewoo one).

The only really different front end = the Chevy's.

From this angle, it does remind of the Demio...

BRING IT!

LOL, I was being sarcastic. It doesn't come through in print I guess. I sell Chevys and Cadillacs. I know what an Aveo is (they're selling like crazy now!).

Re: Updated Holden Barina Spied! (Kalos/Aveo)

Nice to see Mike Simcoe's style is starting to come through to the showroom floor in the Daewoo designs. They can only improve from here on in. Let's hope they've also improved the textures and plastics

Miserable small cars are nature's way to motivate you to be more successful.

Yeah the nose has a little 323 in it:

It is funny that you say that, as that is what I always said about the last generation Cavalier...
