The Aveo is an important part of Chevrolet's small car lineup, which now includes the Cobalt and the Cobalt-based HHR compact crossover; it comes not a moment too soon, given the release of the 2006 Accent, Rio and Yaris, not to mention that Honda, Nissan and Mitsubishi have agendas that include North American-destined entries into this segment. The new Aveo will be shown first as a four-door notchback sedan, followed by the popular five-door hatchback later this year. Sales of the 2007 Aveo will commence during the summer of 2006.
