What kind of car did I just see?
Just out a while ago walking on the street when a Robin's Egg Blue car coming at me I thought was a Fit. It had a Pontiac emblem on it, it was VERY narrow and short. It looked like it was shorter than the Aveo. I think it was a four door but looked like something you would see in Europe.
Never seen one before and never heard they market one. I had no luck on google. Anybody know what it was?

It passed ten feet from me. I did not look at the plate, but the front of the car was flat and steep. It had the red elongated arrow pontiac emblem on it. It was really wierd looking. Aveo like but not an Aveo.
It was small. DB SmartCar small.
I thought maybe it was a car marketed somewhere else that someone had imported????? But it looked like it was a new model, something that was three years old maybe at the latest just from general appearance. No camo attached to it.
But Pontiac? I don't know where else they market Pontiac besides US, but I would not have thought they would have a mico car with a pontiac badge.

I find nothing on the GM global website, but it is not the most user friendly site I have ever found.
I wish I had a pic, it was a goofy looking little car. Likeably goofy like a Yaris, but goofy nonetheless.
I would find it hard to believe it was some future model under testing but who knows. I see test mules with camo here once in a while but that is for cold weather in the winter. No reason to drive a test mule here from Detroit to get the same summer weather. I am just a little perplexed by the Pontiac badge on a car so small. It would make all the Trans Am lovers puke on their shoes.

Could be this, which is an Aveo, but I swear it was different. I have seen Aveos on the road before.
