That thing looks like somebody took the HonDA Insight-II nose, and squished the "H" logo a little.

Aspire is also a re-badged Kia. Not flashy, not aerodynamic, but a very dependable econobox- and it is *blue*!!!

By looking at it I'd think it would have a better Cd than it does (0.36). I've always liked the shape of aspires - they look like they should have better aero than metro 2-doors, but they don't. Hmph. Festiva/aspire is still a pretty good base - lots of cheap and easy-to-find parts.
