This is cool: first images of the 2012 Aveo hatchback, minus the bulky cladding that was slapped on the car to disguise it during its run on the Nurbugring.

There are still camo decals on the body, but these pics are the clearest views yet of the sheetmetal differences/similarities between the production car and the Aveo RS concept.

The article also offers a new drivetrain tidbit:

Powertrains will include both naturally-aspirated and turbocharged versions of GM’s new 1.4-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine.
That's the first I've read about the n.a. engine being offered. Unfortunately, the article doesn't say what market(s) that information applies to.

Can anyone see if those are US manufacturer's plates on the back? (I'm just wondering if these were shot in the US, Europe or Asia.)
