2010 Holden Barina Cars

All the names fit, but the one most likely to fit for Australia is Viva. Or perhaps Barina.

The name game has developed as General Motors pushes its smallest new global design towards showrooms.

GM has already created the Corolla-sized Cruze, which is sold with a variety of names and badges around the world, and now has its next compact almost ready for action. The names will vary because it is planned to be sold as a Chevrolet, a Daewoo, a Buick and a Holden _ as well as a Suzuki.

Regardless of the name, the newcomer is a youthful little city car which will start a a five-door hatch in 2010 and will be followed by a sedan and baby station wagon in 2011.

These Carparazzi pictures show the Barina as it is today, disguised as a test car during trials in Europe, with great looking computer renderings of how it will finally look once it has been morphed for the road.

It has a similar edgy style to the Cruze, but also reflects the need for maximum space and style in a car which is likely to sell for well below $20,000 in Australia.
