Holden Barina, Chevy Sonic Clone

Does the Holden Barina look famaliar.

Yup, the dreaded Chevy Cobalt that we thought was put down for good has resurfaced in South America. I guess GM wanted a fresh start for the Cobalt name. The car pictured -- a "concept" -- is essentially production ready is actually very similar in size to the Chevy Sonic we're getting here.
