No development sharing, just design conincidence. Not design coincidence as
much as filling part of the market: For compact ugly cars. In the more
general ugly catagory it is competing with Aztek, Element and Scion xB
(thankfully not in Canada). Although I noticed the headlights / taillights
in the Aveo look a lot like the Kia SUV.
