Chevrolet Aveo RS Concept – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nWe lost track of the number of times the Chevrolet Aveo RS concept<\/a> was dubbed a “euro hot hatch” during The Bowtie brand’s press conference, and judging by the number of times the word “tuner” was used, Chevy’s desperate to rebrand its econobox.<\/p>\n

The other reoccurring word: “Concept.” This isn’t the next Aveo<\/a> – at least not yet. We expect a more pedestrian, near production version of the RS to be unveiled in the very near future (Geneva<\/a>?), guaranteed to ditch its lighted brake cooling ducts, 19-inch wheels, slotted rotors and center-mounted dual exhausts. Even the C-pillar’s awkwardly integrated door handles aren’t likely to make it to production, but we hope the black-on-black interior, contrasting blue stitching and “motorcycle-inspired” dash all get the green light.<\/p>\n

The drivetrain is destined to carry over unchanged, with the Cruze<\/a>‘s turbocharged 1.4-liter four cylinder sending 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque to a six-speed manual transmission. All of this will surely improve the breed, but it leaves us wondering something…<\/p>\n

Jim Campbell, Chevy’s general manager, announced that production of the Chevrolet Spark<\/a> for the U.S. will begin late next year. With the Spark supposedly on the way, how does GM plan to market two economical runabouts in a market that’s remained luke warm to the original Aveo? We’ll find out next year.<\/p>\n
