Anyone seen this yet? Supposed to be a recycling of the Aveo.

Looks cool enough. They need to do a recycling so-to-speak of the HHR with a new design and name. :)

Well the one thing that might make it a better car than the Aveo is the new engine lineup. The Korean sourced engines are going away and the Sonic will have the same 1.8 and 1.4 Turbo as the Cruze, so no more 36,000 mile timing belt breakages. Still think the name is silly, but Aveo never lit my fire either.
