TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2011 Chevrolet Aveo is vastly improved from first glance; we'll reserve final judgement until road-test cars are made available.

The 2011 Scion xD offers an impressive list of features and sporty accessories, but it's not as much fun to drive as its image suggests.

TCC Dislikes

"Aveo" baggage?
No chance of 19-inch wheels in production

Short, uncomfortable front seats
Minimal rear headroom
No standard stability control
