If they do make an Aveo RS, do you think that will come in sedan version???
idk, but i would rather buy a kia soul or ill be rolling around in a toaster and i wont have the swag or style to be cool to hang with my hamsters YO
Just go for nissan cube, hunter. you'll be rollin' then...
naw dog i gotta roll fat bro, the kia is the only way to get respect in the hamster world yo, and plus, who does not want LED lights around their speakers homie? [-X
not sure thats a different platform (engine2?) and wasnt the vibe just a toyota matrix design or something?Quote:

i dont think gm would have a wise choice in dropping daewoo, they were one of their only profitable sectors during the bailout review. and if they were going to be unloaded like hummer, saab, pontiac i think we would have heard by now. They are just building copies of the daewoo produces cars state side so instead of americans paying tariffs and shipping across the pacific we can pay for higher wages and healthcare.. Also having the cars built here does increase jobs (not saying it doesnt) but it will show the build quality differences side by side with a daewoo built car at some point i hope... thats if they will stay that similar, the daewoo version will probably be lighter, and have more engine, interior choices, etc.. than what is offered in america.. like they already do, but now its separate plants as well.
Yeah - the Vibe was built alongside the Matrix in a GM-Toyota jointly owned plant in California. The 2 companies have since split up, and the plant was recently sold.
I think the next Aveo's going to be a bit smaller than the Vibe/Matrix anyway. They were made on the Corolla platform. The Cruze will be around the Corolla's size.
My only problem with it is how far away from the bumpers the wheels are. One of my favorite things about my Aveo is that the wheels are right in the corners of the car, and its easier to maneuver that way.
