2012 Chevrolet Aveo patent photos leaked

The U.S. Patent Office comes through again as a source for images of future car models, considering they treat all information as public property. This time, drawings of the production-version 2012 Chevrolet Aveo has made it onto their database, including both the hatchback as well as the sedan.

A concept “Aveo RS” hatchback was already shown at recent auto shows, but it would seem that something was lost in translation into the production model. The sedan also looks like an afterthought. Here’s to hoping that the real deal looks much better.

The cars will likely be built in Korea, like the current models. They should hit the market sometime in the first half of 2011.
