I give GM credit for being the only ones to build a sub-compact in the US.
Hopefully though, the cost cutting doesn't prove troublesome. I'm still confident that the Sonic will prove to be a very good car, light years ahead of Aveo.

Total labor/production costs, location, model name aside...WTF is different about it from the current half model year Aveo that is rolling around out here?

Why the emphasis?

Huh?

You really think there's not much difference?

The difference is greater than any typical complete redesign. Why? Because they are two cars built by two different companies. One by Deawoo, and one by GM. Comparing the Aveo to the Sonic is about the same as comparing the Aveo to the Yaris. Yup, that different.

Does this look like the Aveo?

I don't see any similarity.

And Honda wishes they could make an interior this nice in this segment.

Only Acura interiors are better, LOL.
