Photos: 2012 Aveo / Sonic production version out in public in Germany

Europe will see the next gen Aveo arrive in showrooms about half way through this year (2011).

Here's one on the road in Germany (EU plates with "D"). Lightly camoflaged - duct tape over the badges!

One thing of note: we've now seen "production" versions of the Aveo / Sonic with both four- and five-lug wheels.

Also: it's not clear that in Europe this will be the "2012" model year Aveo. North America & the rest of the world do things differently, so this may in fact be sold as a 2011 car.

Looks like an aveo to me....
I like the Fence shadow as part of the razzle dazzle camouflage. Noticed on the straight on shot there is no shadow from the photographer. So this must have been shot with a zoom lens.

Yeah, I thought at first glance that shadow was camo...

That was a good find you posted about the dazzle camo. Learn something new every day!

you know, with two locations of manufacturing. it might use 4 lug everywhere but the us plant..

Might be - but even at the US debut of the Sonic, I noticed 4 and 5 lug wheels on different cars. I'd have to double check, but it looked like the 1.8 car had 4 lugs, and the turbos had 5.

All that extra turbo torque, you don't want to be twisting the wheels off the hubs.

they were probably korean built part cars or something, send the production ready parts over here for gm us to assemble for practice and quality adjustments.
