New Aveo RS is a Looker

The Korean-based Chevrolet Aveo has never been a hot item here in the States.  It’s cheap and it’s meant to be.  Regardless of what dying Detroiters claim, hatches are a rapidly growing item here in America.  The Aveo RS, a concept based on the next-gen subcompact, hopes to win over younger buyers with a little more pizazz.  19 in. wheels, performance tires, uprated brakes, and a mean bodykit provide visual cues; real power comes from a 1.4 L inline-four linked to a 6-spd. MT.  Problem here is that power doesn’t even reach 140 hp.  Put it bluntly: you’re talking econobox territory.
