The majority of modern cars are ugly. This one is no exception.

I don't like the sedan, but the hatch is pretty good looking

Rwarchol · 01-10-2011, 02:23 PM

It looks like the offspring of a Cruze and Aveo.

The front end kind of looks like they took a full sized car's front end and squished it to make it fit on a compact. But really, the headlights are too large and boxy for such a small car in my opinion.

I think the front end looks too angry / aggressive for such a low power car :]

cool little commuters though no doubt !

I think the Fiesta looks like 10 lbs of styling in a 5 lb box while the Mazda2 looks plain and boring. The Sonic seems to be hitting a sweet spot in the middle in between the two.

I think the interior is nice, but the exterior looks insect like with those bug-eyes. The Fiesta is a more balanced design to my eyes.

I'll reserve judgment for some of the names GM's come up with lately.

I'll second that...though my eyes only see 8lbs of styling on the Fiesta.

I also like how they're pitching the Corvette-engineer tuned ride and handling. Way to use your advantages!!

I somewhat agree about the Fiesta.... its got 8lbs of something, but it sure isn't styling!

Look at all those Toyotas that sell though, they're boring as all hell and people still buy them!

The interior looks great, although I am curious to see one of these in person to get a feel for fit, finish, and materials usage. Even better, from the a pillars back the sedan might be the best looking car in this class...unfortunately you have to look at the front end eventually and it is, in a word, horrible. Ironically, the Cruze suffers from the same problem IMO, with both cars being the automotive equivelant of a 'butterface'.
