Nice pics and comments Zabo.

This type of door handle used to be on the W-body coupes back in the day. We called them the "beer tap handle" for obvious reasons.

It's a nice way to make a 4 door look more like a 2 door. Gives a more coupe-ish look.

I'm still surprised it is simply the Cruze Powertrains in a smaller car.

I just went to Chevrolet.com and a loaded 2LT Aveo is just under $18,000. But if we get an LTZ Sonic with a 1.4 L Turbo and 6 speed trans instead of todays 5 speed, I think you can guess that a loaded Sonic LTZ would be over 20. It's simply a much better car with better powertrains.
