Well damn lol. That's good! The back doesn't look that much different though. The newest Aveo was ok looking, so I just hope they work on that front end some more! Will it get an all-new powertrain or share the Cruze's?

Ah-vay-o It will probably borrow the 1.8L from the Cruze, and I wouldn't be surprised if there is a non-turbo 1.4L offered.
