      The Korean version: Gentra

      I thought it might be fun to see how an Aveo is marketed in Korea where it is made:

      And that's assuming (once you get there) that you understand Korean.

      Actually, all car manufacturer websites are photo and video heavy and take forever to load, even if you have a fast computer.

      If you couldn't access it, the gist of it is that the car is being marketed to twenty-something-year-olds as a (must have) first car. But it obviously is identical to what we in North America call an Aveo, with a different badge that is not the familiar Chevy bow-tie. I guess the name Gentra is appropriate and is obviously meant to instill and permeate the 'Gentrification' of Korea.
