I think about it like this. GM is only trying to cover their mistakes by changing the name. GM is still going to be criticized on the Sonic because it is a rebadged Aveo. Let alone the fact that the front end of the Sonic resembles the new Lancer. Personally I like the way GM designed the new Aveo/Sonic. I would buy one lol. But people will always remember the Aveo when they look at the Sonic in my opinion.
