Here are official design patent drawings of the all-new 2012 Chevrolet Aveo four-door sedan and five-door hatchback models, filed by General Motors. The next generation of GM's Ford Fiesta rival was teased in concept form with the sporty Aveo RS hatchback study at 2010 Detroit Auto Show in January. The drawings of the five-door model suggest that the production version follows pretty closely to the RS concept minus of course some snazzy details like the shaved door handles, huge alloy wheels and the more pronounced side sills. The hatchback does keep the concept study's hidden rear door handles that are concealed in the C-pillars. The sedan, on the other hand, gets a more conventional design with the roof-line similar to the larger Cruze. We're likely to see the production versions of both the sedan and hatchback Aveo making their official debut by the end of this year's auto show season, possibly even at the Paris show in September, with sales following in 2011.

A yellow flag at two upcoming NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races will generate some green to fight breast cancer. Chevrolet will make a US$200 donation to the American Cancer Society for each caution lap that a specially themed pink Camaro SS pace car runs in upcoming NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races at Atlanta Motor Speedway and Richmond International Raceway. The Atlanta race begins 7:30 p.m. Sunday (televised on ESPN). The Richmond race is 7:30 p.m. Sept. 10 (televised on ABC). Chevrolet's commitment to battling breast cancer won't stop on the track. In its centennial year, the brand is partnering with the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer initiative leading up to October, which is national Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Chevy's Nov. 3 birthday. Other Making Strides Against Breast Cancer events will be announced later. "For 100 years, Chevy has been helping people along the journey of life in countless ways," said Alan Batey, Chevrolet vice president, Sales and Service. "But as we all know, sometimes life's journeys take detours or end too early. Together with our race fans, Chevrolet wants to help the American Cancer Society create a world with less cancer, more birthdays and longer journeys." Currently, Chevy driver Jimmie Johnson (No. 48) is tied for the lead in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series points. Johnson is the defending NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion and winner of five consecutive championships.

Hi All, I would be taking delivery of my AVEO5 in June 2005. Im still deciding whether I should add on the Chevrolet-brand sports rim (was told by my SE that it would cost an additional $735) to my car or should I have it installed outside? Thanks in advance for the time...!!!

In an innovative marketing campaign, Chevrolet UK tried to capture the attention of the public with its life-size replica of the new Orlando MPV made from 1.5 tonnes of Play-Doh parked up in a London street. The Chevrolet marketers came up with the idea after surveying 1,000 UK adults for their favorite nostalgic toy from their childhood. Play-Doh took the first place with 19 percent of the votes. This is followed closely by Legos with 17 percent and Kinder Egg with 15 percent. Crafted by a team of eight model makers over a two week period to mark the UK launch of Chevy

Ford Fiesta, VW Polo, Honda Jazz - Take a close look at the Chevrolet Aveo RS concept. It has caught my attention and you had better pay attention too! Starting with the 2010 Detroit Auto Show, Chevy is out to change the Aveo's cheap and boring image into a product that we might actually desire. The process begins with the Aveo RS concept, which provides a preview of what to expect from the next-generation production Aveo when it arrives in showrooms sometime next year. The Aveo RS has much more attractive proportions with a wider stance and longer profile that make it look much more aggressive than the current model. It also adopts some of the smaller Spark's styling cues. Inside, the Aveo RS has similarities to the smaller Spark and other larger Chevrolet's like the new Cruze and Equinox. Like the Spark, its instrument pod consists of a round speedometer with a rectangular digital display to the right sitting on top of the steering column. Since this RS version is meant to be a hot hatch, GM has equipped it with suitable seats to hold the driver in place during aggressive maneuvers. On the show car, the seats are finished in actual leather with stitching that matches the blue exterior. Power in the RS comes from the turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder producing 138 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque that will also do service in the larger Cruze. The torque gets sent to those over sized 19-inch wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox. I believe that the production model will come with an automatic option. The Ford Fiesta is rumoured to be equipped with the 1.6L EcoBoost engine in the foreseeable future, and the VW's Polo will be powered by a 1.2L TSI unit soon. Let's hope we can see a 'triple threat match' among these 3 hot hatches in the near future!

CHEVROLET cabs will join an increasingly bewildering array of taxi models on the road soon. Transport group SMRT Corp, the third biggest taxi operator here, has ordered 2,000 Chevrolet Tosca sedans from Chevy agent Alpine Motors. The Tosca is a Korean domestic name for the Epica - a popular Chevrolet executive sedan here. The taxi variant is a 2-litre turbodiesel vehicle with a six-speed automatic transmission. Alpine managing director Albert Pang said the 2,000 Chevy taxis will be delivered by 2012, and that SMRT has signed an option for more after that. The first ones will be delivered in the first quarter of next year. 'This deal took over two years to put together,' Mr Pang said, adding that 'a few other taxi companies have talked to us', but the Chevy cabs are only for SMRT for now. He would not disclose the price of the vehicle, but The Straits Times understands the Korean-made American model is close to what a Hyundai Sonata cab was priced at - about $50,000 without a Certificate Of Entitlement. SMRT was displaced recently as the second biggest cab operator here, after being overtaken by newcomer Trans-Cab. It has about 2,600 taxis on the road, compared with Trans-Cab's 4,000. At its second-quarter financial results announcement last week, the company said it would renew its ageing fleet and increase its number of vehicles. SMRT is known for its eclectic mix of taxis, which include Ssangyong, Chrysler, Mercedes and London cabs. Its taxi business has been making either losses or very modest profits in the last decade. For the quarter ended Sept 30, it posted an operating profit before taxes of $374,000 - down from $773,000 in the previous corresponding period. Including the Chevy, there are now 35 models of taxis here - nearly three times the variety five years ago. And 10 years ago, there were only a handful, with Toyota's Crown and Nissan's Cedric dominating the scene. But when the stricter Euro IV emission standard was implemented four years ago, the two Japanese stalwarts fell off the scene because they did not have variants that could meet Euro IV. Hence, the influx of new cabs. New models have included models from Honda, Volkswagen, Skoda and even China's Chery. And last year, Prime Taxis, the newest cab company here, started using petrol-electric hybrid cabs. Renault agent Wearnes Automotive has also been in talks with cab companies to supply vehicles. Despite the wide array of taxi types, the Land Transport Authority said there should be no risk of commuters wanting to flag one down mistaking them for ordinary cars.

gorgeous hatch to launch in Europe. not sure if coming to Singapore yet. Chevrolet has revealed the first photographs of a new hatchback version of the Cruze. It will be unveiled at the Paris motor show at the end of this month, and the five-door car will join the existing four-door saloon in Chevrolet showrooms in the middle of next year. Although the two models look similar, the hatchback stands out from the saloon with its coupe-like roofline. The range of engines and trims will mirror that of the saloon, although the new hatchback will be launched with Euro V-compliant engines, which will find their way into the saloon in due course. Exact details of the car and its specifications will be confirmed nearer its on-sale date, so there is no confirmation of whether every detail of the show car

Anyone that has ever done their own oil changes is familiar with the pain of trying to access and remove the filter on their engine. If you do manage to get it loose, there is the inevitable mess of oil dripping down your arm as you spin the filter off, and not forgetting that constant exposure to used engine oil can cause skin cancer. When the new Chevrolet Cruze goes on sale later this year in the US, the engines for the first time will feature a cartridge type filter that can be removed from above with almost no mess or fuss. Cartridge filters are basically just the internal paper element from traditional filters and they drop into a housing that's integrated into the cylinder block. General Motors has been using the same type of filter on the 2.0, 2.2 and 2.4-liter Ecotec engines for several years. Besides being easier to change and tidier, they are also more environmentally friendly. There is less material from the filter itself to dispose of or recycle. In addition, oil spills associated with the old-fashion filters that often end up in the local water supply will be avoided. Also, having the cover with its seal on the top of the filter makes it far less prone to leaks that mess up the driveway. Cruze owners in Singapore, are your cars fitted with cartridge filters already?

Even before the Cruze made its international debut some one and a half years ago, there were talks about a 1.4L turbo version. The talk is now over and this variant of the American model was finally unveiled at the New York Auto Show, called the Cruze Eco. Starting with the front of the Eco, there's a new, wind tunnel-massaged front fascia complete with a class-first "Aero Shutter." Take a look at the air inlet area below the grill. During low speed city driving, the aero shutter is open. However, at higher speeds when cooling the turbocharged engine isn't as much of an issue, the shutter shuts to allow air to move more efficiently around the vehicle in order to reduce drag. There's a full-body underpanel to keep air from getting hung up on stuff like the exhaust and suspension components, as well as ultra low rolling resistance tires shared with the Volt. The Cruze Eco is only available with a manual option at the moment, which means that its chance of a Singapore debut is slim. The manual Cruze Eco has an ultra-tall 6th gear that allows the rpms to greatly drop when the vehicle is at cruising speed. The 1.4L Turbo powerplant features variable-valve timing technology and generates 138 horsepower @4,900 rpm, together with 148 pound-feet of torque @1,850 rpm.
