Sonic The Hothatch

Is it the latest game from Nintendo?

No, it's the latest car from Chevrolet - as covered in this Autoguide story.

It's another example of a rebadged Daewoo creeping into the American market - I suspect it will do badly simply because of its size but I suspect the Chevrolet badge should help a bit.

It is a 4 cylinder 1.4 engine - enough to make Louis-Joseph Chevrolet spin in his grave - albeit at an economical rate of rpm.

The paintjob is reminiscent of a Scalextric Mini Cooper but the car seems to be what we in Britain would call an Aveo but with Spark rear doors bolted on.They say there won't be an "SS" version. SS has nothing to do with the Nazis in this case but is the sports tuning moniker that Chevrolet use on higher performance models. Sonic does have previous racing conotations though...
