Nope. The Sonic fits into the same slot as the leaving Aveo but the Sonic does not share anything with the outgoing platform.

Yes, it is a 1.4L F/I engine that is setup for economy and not performance.

Rome wasn't built in a night, but Kia and Hyundai are sure trying to make it look like it can be.
I would much rather have the XD than those listed cars, other than the Sonic, because I'm a Chevy man myself.

No shit Scion is Toyota we all know that. Toyota has a habit of letting certain product lines sit out for a while and becoming outdated. The most glaring example of this is the Corolla which has become a joke of a car. Toyota sits on their hands while this once iconic car is left in the dust by the competition then when it comes time to actually upgrade the Corolla all the company does is tweak the front and rear fascia and that is it. When I purchased my xD in 2009 it was one of the best cars in it's class (tied with the Fit IMO) but now with the 2012 models starting to roll out it is time for Toyota to upgrade this thing. I do enjoy my car but if I was buying a new car now I doubt I would even test drive the xD. Toyota is doing same thing that almost killed off GM, they are getting to complacent and think people will just buy their vehicles because of the badge on the hood. Both Kia and Hyundai have always made decent throw away cars that if properly maintained would last a while. Now they are spending money and actually improving their vehicle line up and it is showing in new models. I would have no problem comparing a 2012 Hyundai model to its Toyota counter part.
