I agree that the Rear Lights of the Cruze are quite similar to that of Civic but about Aveo I don't think so. I own one and the front lights have never reminded me of the old Honda City.
One more thing i'll bring up now that rear styling has been mentioned. If you notice, the New Merc E-Class tail lights are somewhat a mix and match of the previous Accord and and current Sonata. Looks like even the Germans are attracted to Jap designs.
Well all in all I simply love the Cruze. And with this kind of perfomance its surely the Cruze Missile in this segment.
I just hope my source is correct with regards to its pricing.
