General Motors Brazil has just released the first functionary image of its new Agile small car. Thankfully, contrary to earlier speculation, the somewhat awkward-looking car that you see here will not be GM’s new B-segment model for North America (oft referred to as Viva). The North American model will actually retain the Aveo name when it debuts next year and wear styling that emulates the even littler Chevy Spark in some respects, only stretched over a longer platform. We saw the next-generation Aveo last week and while it doesn’t quite have the style of the competing Ford Fiesta, from where we sit, it’s a huge improvement over either the current Aveo or the Agile shown here.

We don’t know many details of either the Aveo or the Agile yet, so it’s possible that they’ll share some underpinnings. Judging by the way the Agile sits on its wheels, it looks like it is intentional for less-developed markets where road quality might non be up to most US or European standards and more wheel travel is required. The Google translated press release is after the jump.
