"Pre-Aveo"
Chevrolet's Aveo RS ConceptAny more guesses what the new car might be called? Car companies love to dredge up old names that they still hold trademarks on... What small car names has Chevy put out to pasture that it might re-use?
Vega?
Monza!
Corvair!
Sprint!
Metro!
It's a keeper! GM would be nuts to drop it now.

Personally, if they did drop the name, I would like to see the Nova name return. But, I come from a family of Nova Lovers (My dad's first car was a '74 Nova SS 350, and my Uncle's first was a '62 Nova) and they all say that the Cobalt was a reincarnation of the original Nova.Originally Posted by MetroMPG

Conversely, there's this press piece:http://rumors.automobilemag.com/6718...hip/index.html

And this, among others, today:http://www.examiner.com/autos-in-det...orion-assembly
Don't really think GM's direct announcement is significant in only announcing the Verano by name as today's focus was obviously on the Buick.

I called it. When it was brought up that the facility was able to produce far more new Aveo's than the US market would need, I said there will probably be a Buick variant. I called it! I love being right

[north american president mark reuss] confirmed gm may change the aveo’s name before it launches, which the free press first reported today. If the name changes, gm is likely to pick a name that’s new to chevrolet, instead of borrowing a discarded name from the past. That’s because “i think this is a breakthrough car,” reuss said.
Reuss said he first asked about changing the aveo’s name when he was promoted from vice president of engineering to his current job in december. He said confusion on how to pronounce “aveo” was one reason gm is considering the idea.

I just wonder why they continue to waffle? Why say that they "may" they change the name, and "is considering" the idea?
