Expect the interior design of the Viva to be somewhat similar to the Spark's.
I assumed that the Aveo was being dropped in favor of the Spark while the Cruze was going to be a Focus fighter? It would then put the Malibu up against the Fusion, and the Alpha II Impala up against the Taurus.

I remember early on that this thing wasn't going to come to the US. They changed their minds, and its due in 2011 if I recall correctly. The Cruze is due in a little less than a year, with a 40mpg hwy rating, at least. Together these two -- plus the Volt...will REALLY bump up GM's CAFE score (making more room for cars like Corvette and Camaro.
Not to mention if it's really inexpensive it'll be one bad ass 'winter car' for us while our Camaros wait for summer!
