2012 Chevy Aveo: Still Crap, But Now With 10% Less Ugly

2012 Chevy Aveo

An Aveo you won’t be embarassed to drive

Here are the official pictures of the 2012 Chevrolet Aveo, based on the Aveo RS concept car shown in Detroit. The good news? The exterior receives a complete re-do, complete with “angy samurai” grille and really big headlights. The four door body style shown here won’t offend anyone, and the car might be mistaken for the latest Volvo since the lines are somewhat S40ish. The interior looks decent, sporting a two tone dash and door panel combo. The half digital, half analog instruments make the Aveo look like a more expensive car than it really is.

New interior designed not to rattle on the dealer’s lot.

So what’s the bad news? It’s still based on a Daewoo platform that all the up-contenting in the world won’t fix. Expect plenty of squeaks, rattles, electrical gremlins and mechanical failures, just like past Aveos.
