The Sonic is purely American. In fact it will be the only small car built in the USA. Even the Fiesta is built in Mexico.

Interesting car, the "z spec" concept is fugly though haha I like the look of the sedan.
It does share the same engines with the cruze which is mostly euro design, Not that thats a bad thing.

My bad. GM has been re-badging Suzukis, Daihatsus, Toyotas, Opels, Isuzus and Holdens for so long I just assumed wrongly that it was a re-badged Asian make.

To me, interior sort of looks like it took its cues from Hyundai or Honda, which is good.

A fair assumption. The outgoing Aveo is Korean built by GM's South Korean subsidiary GM Daewoo.

The current Aveo has sold as the following models worldwide...

Chevrolet Kalos
Chevrolet Lova
Daewoo Gentra
Daewoo Kalos
Holden Barina
Pontiac G3
Pontiac Wave
Suzuki Swift

Looks like I got my D's wrong, I meant Daewoo, not Daihatsu
