It beat the hell out of that monstrosity they slapped on the front of the 2004-05 Malibu. I, too, look forward to the Beat, even though I voted for the Trax. I still fail to understand why GM had a few hundred thousand people from America voting on their favorite of the 3 concepts, when they didn't have plans to sell any of them here. I'm glad that signs show they're having a change of heart. And even though the Fit is a better car overall, the Aveo has lots to offer the segment: 1) Great warranty 2) Great interior (for its class) 3) Great new engine with better fuel economy than the Fit 4) Much lower price than the Fit. Last I checked, in the smallest, cheapest segment of the American market, those 4 things still mattered quite a bit. That might be why the Aveo is the best-selling car in that class.

It also has nowhere near the cargo space or seat configuration/stow-away options. Your comments are laughable. RE: Need more oil for GM

When I saw it at the NAIAS couple years ago I was hoping that they would make it. It's an aggressive looking hatchback. Much like the FIt, xD, and new Fiesta. If you don't like because it's a Chevy, then look beyond the bow-tie emblem on it. Come on, this thing is better than what they currently have out. I didn't think I'd ever consider buying American, but I've more and more impressed with what has been coming out from GM and Ford (nothing from Chrysler yet though). Would you rather drive this or the Aveo? I don’t know guys. When I saw it at the NAIAS couple years ago I was hoping that they would make it. It’s an aggressive looking hatchback.
