Chevy Aveo - D.O.A.

Wow, this is an amazing failure. Can we make a new rule and say that Detriot can no longer make compact cars? They're always awful. Always. The neon, the escort, the focus... All terrible cars. Did Chevy really think they'd do any better? Just because they got a japanese company to make it doesn't mean it's going to work.

Its incredible if you guys think about it. That car gets 103HP and is 1.6 liters and it gets worse significantly worse gas milage than our civics. They also are not ULEV emmisions. Honda should really consider selling their engine designs to other companies, they could make a killing.

I don't see why they're going into the small segment. They're horrible at it. They should kick the high-performance segment into gear... That's where they're great!

If it wears a bowtie and isn't a vette or a V-8 F-body, it sucks. Plain and simple.

The Aveo has been on sale in North America for only a few months.

horrible looking car, and with those stats, failure! The neon isnt all that bad, neither is the Focus but this car, is terrible.
Yes, the new Saturn SUV will have the Pilot/Odyssey/MDX engine.

Well, usually the best selling car in the world* (Focus) isn't considered terrible.

The Focus isn't even in the top 10 selling cars in america... It never has been. I have no idea where you got that from.

Actually he's right. He said in the world, not in America

American Muscle is good yes, but they break to dayum easily

The new Malibu SS was reported to have a honda motor in it from what I read a while back.

The Aveo is one of those cars that you expect to die. All it is is a Korean influenced Metro, especially considering they are using it as the Suzuki Swift in Canada. Oh wow, it's supprisingly big, the only thing that isn't suprising about this car is it's flop. Now the Scion, I do expect those to catch on.

Scion is the more radical branch of toyota. It is the umm Nissan view from toyota. Radical sells to the younger generation!

No **** ford sells over seas they got the RS!!!!! I would buy an RS over a type R anyday, even an impressa aka wrx here.
why? becuase i like to see you take hair pin turns at 150
ever see the top gear video?
beat the Type R and impressa by 4 secounds around the track!
4!!! thats like a week.....

This doesn't sound right so I went to the Chevy web site and looked at the Malibu Maxx and they have the 3500 series engine not a Honda engine. the 3500 was derived from the 3400 series which was an enlarged 3100.
