for some reason i have always thought they are a rebadged import... they look too much like a yota to be a chevy

edit: hahaha, just found this on wikipedia
The Daewoo Kalos is a subcompact automobile manufactured by GM Daewoo (the South Korean subsidiary of General Motors) introduced in 2002 and marketed globally in 120 countries — prominently as the Chevrolet Aveo[1] (ah-VAY-o).[2]

I don't care for the look of it, it just looks like a cheap car that will fall apart in 10 years... I'd MUCH rather get soemthing like a Carolla, or a Mazda 3 or something. Something that has a slightly higher cool factor, lol.

In others I probably wouldn't drive one, let alone buy one.. (It being a Chevy has nothing to do with that)

Yeah GM does that, just like Metro/Firefly.

The Geo Metro was a subcompact marketed from 1989 through 2001 as a joint effort of GM and Suzuki. The Metro evolved through three generations under numerous nameplates and variously offered during its 13 year production as a 2-door convertible, 3-door hatchback, 4-door sedan, and a 5-door hatchback. The Metro was itself a rebadged Suzuki Swift.

I saw one in the showroom while I was getting a part for my truck. The window sticker mileage looked kinda bad for such a tiny thing. Maybe it was the 8.1 liter auto version.

I think the last time I had a Aveo in the garage. All it is a re-bagde Kia. It had the Chevy touch, but under the hood was a Kia engine.

I would go for a Honda Civic or Toyota Coralla. As is, I actually ride a 06' Kawasaki KLX250s dualsport for my commuter. Nothing beats a fun ride while still getting 65mpg.

It's not a KIA, it a GM Daewoo.

The Ford Expire was a KIA. Hyundia bought KIA ten years ago during the Asian collapse. Ford had to increase it's interest in Mazda at the same time to prevent Mazda from being taken over.
