Unmasked: best view yet of next gen Chevrolet Aveo hatchback (production model)

[MetroMPG]

You've heard the expression that "a leopard can't change its spots."

Maybe so. But the 2012 Chevrolet Aveo hatchback can!

Below: before/after animation...

We've already seen the spy photos of the production version of the hatchback undergoing testing at GM's facilities in Michigan, disguised with painted or stuck-on camoflage:



Well, I spent some quality time with Photoshop on a rainy day this weekend, and the result is the most accurate view yet of the next Aveo5:



Hey, it's not perfect. But if you compare the before & after closely, it's pretty darn close. This view reveals a bunch of subtle differences between the RS concept and the production cars (aside from the obvious).

Good work, man. I didn't realize how much the camouflage actually hides the lines of the car...

Thanks!

Yeah - there are a few nice details that made it from the concept to production like the hidden rear door handles (the new Chevy Spark has them too).

Of course many things have been toned down from the RS, but they're things that the aftermarket could take care of. I think we're going to put together a photo comparison of the details of the RS vs. production cars.
