Saw a weird gold car today that said "CHEVY"

[The Stigenator]

It was a small 2 door car. Gold colored, said "CHEVY" on the bottom left of the liftback.
The symbol looked like an OPAL from a distance, but i looked at it again when i got closer it had the bowtie. Basically it was a Circle with a Bowtie in the center.. it said 'chevy' on the bottom left.

I didnt get to take a picture, she was driving it at 55mph i was going 70.

The front had teh same bowtie in a circle. Its a 2 door hatchback. I have never seen that car before.

I was thinking could it be a "CHERY"... the chinese car manufacturer.. I am off to see if they ahve a car like that.

Well it does look like teh Chery QQQ.. But the front end had a bigger grill.

I wonder what that car was.. drats I wish i had my camera with me to take a picture.

The "Chevy" is the Mexican version; see them often in the US near the border.

Opel, Vauxhall, and Chevy nameplates are used interchangeably on that car, depending on where it is sold.

 

[KeepItRed]

My bet's on the Corsa.

 

[Demon-Xanth]

Chevy Aveo? It's the car that the Chery QQ is a knockoff of.

 

[RagingBITCH]

Yep, Mexican version driven over the border.

 

[The Stigenator]

Yup that is it.. Chevy Corsa!!!

The darn thing had California plates.. not Mexican plates.. i wonder how that got registered..

 

[The Stigenator]

Damn I am looking at Wikipedia.. and I want some of the cars they sell our brothers south of the border...
