Yeah, but I get the feeling that it is just a wee bit smaller. Maybe it's just the short front bumper.

In the states aveos aren't the best on mileage or even close and you can feel the body torque when taking a semi-hard turn. Over-all the impression is just cheap... I'm sure they're better in other countries. GM just serves us garbage unless you are willing to spend big bucks on SUVs. I think they keep the lower level cars crummy so people want to spend (give) the extra money for the "nicer" vehicles in their lineup.

When I drove the Chevy "Kalos"
in Europe, the interior was very nice. I *think* I had a smaller displacement engine than the USA offers, but I didn't check. The turning radius was great for narrow Euro-urban streets. The one part I didn't like was the feel of the stick-shift. The stick felt notchy, and since I would have to live with that for the life of the car, it made it a
for me.
