Chevrolet is officially removing the Aveo nameplate on their B-segment car and will be re-christening it the ?Sonic?. If you recall, the 2011 Aveo first made its appearance at the Paris Motor Show a few months ago bearing the ?Aveo? name. But according to Chrysler, models that are going to be sold in North America and Mexico will now be called Sonic whereas the Aveo name will be retained in other parts of the world.
In a press release, Chris Perry, Chevrolet?s vice president of US marketing, said, ?The Sonic represents a new beginning for Chevrolet in the small car segment and so we felt it was time to give it a new name."
"The new car is roomy, stylish and fun to drive, and Sonic is a youthful, energetic name that helps convey what this vehicle is about."
Specs on the Sonic have yet to be announced, but if we take into consideration the Aveo model that made its debut in Paris, we can have a pretty good read on what the car is going to look like.
Details and Press Release after the jump.
