The first major show of 2010 doesn't disappoint!

Chevrolet Aveo Show Car

What it is: A precursor to a new, better Aveo with European hot hatch-inspired looks.

What we like about it: Who would have thought the Aveo could look this good? The production model won’t have the show car’s 19-inch wheels and large air intakes, but the basic design looks good. Plus, it will be built in the U.S. instead of South Korea.

Bottom line: The next Aveo will be bigger and better to make room for the Spark at the bottom of Chevy’s lineup. It if looks like this, it’s a winner.
