was goin to the store last night and was passed by a new aveo(hatch) with dealer plates on it. it changed lanes into my lane, and turned into the same store i was going to. i parked, he parked and i walked over and asked him to check it out. he opened it up for me and i gotta say, i was not that impressed. the only thing i liked on it was the taillights and the fact it was the same color as my car. oh, they now offer the aveo with onstar.
it really did look like a small toyota matrix.
hey mike i have seen it before and i'm still kinda partial to the 04 to 06 design, although i wouldnt mind owning an 09 anyway.
I am happy with my 08. Easy to strip badges and other stuff down.
Didn't care for the front end on the new Chevy and Suzuki.
in pictures i thought it looked pretty good.....but.... in person its a mess. Very Toyota Matrix. And no change in the engine which pisses me off. We need a ss aveo even if it only makes like 150hp ill be happy jeeez. GM do sumtin smart
there is a change in the engine....they aren't going to put a bigger engine in unless it gets better mpg, especially with whats going on with gas....why would they risk investing that money into that?
i know but they can freakin make an ss model or sumtin . Like you have the reg cobalt and u have the ss. Im sure the aveo ss would be a huge hit. It could make the Aveo best bang for the buck. I mean it would be nice havin a model up from the LT. A turbo or supercharged version SS.
Juss my opinion.
but if they made that ss model it would take away from cobalt sales no doubt....which is their flagship compact car and the aveo is just thrown in there to compete with the other b-segements like yaris and fit not its own other carsQuote:

ChevyAveoRS, in what lifetime were you expecting this to happen? that'll be the day!!
Until now it hasnt been a Chevy engine tho. Plus for them to develop these kits, there has to be a demand. Besides maybe 60 people, who would really buy it? Hell, we couldnt even get a turbo kit made with 2 vendors on here because there was no demand.Quote:

09 is the last year for the Cobalt, and I thought I read the new Aveo was up a blistering 5 horse this year

i thought it was 2010 for the cobalt and then the now dubbed chevy II is going to be launched prospectively in 2011.
ill dig up the article on css.net.
I highly doubt that.Quote:

dont call it a cobalt.
I had no doubt they were gonna replace it just not in 09. Why would they redevelop the SS just for one year.
heres an excerpt from that motor trend article. what do they mean by "AVEO REPLACEMENT"???
The new Chevy compact's 1.4L turbo will come from Flint, Michigan, which is scheduled to produce 1.0L to 1.4L fours for all those truck and SUV owners desperate to trade into smaller cars. A new 1.0L is likely slated for the 2011 Chevrolet Aveo replacement (also sold in Canada as the Pontiac Wave).
The Aveo switches to the new global Gamma platform converging GM's small Daewoo architecture with the Opel/Vauxhall Corsa. It also serves as the underpinnings for the next-generation Opel Meriva MPV, a potential candidate for import as an entry-level Saturn. This all sizes up as a big autumn of 2010 for Chevrolet, with the 2011 Volt, Cobalt replacement and Aveo replacement coming. It's a short time away, but can dealers, and consumers paying $4/gallon, wait even that long?
The aveo will get a 1L engine. YAY :roll:
the new ss's are pretty wicked too. my next new vehicle will be a balt ss turbo. gonna be startin a second job to pay off my debts and then buy new car to acrue new debt. whoopee!Quote:

please trust me when I say this. Get something RWD. I love my neon but you know what 450wtq does when put through the front tires?
yea if your gonna get a second car for fun why get a fwdQuote:

plus i really dont know if id modify it much. prolly just intake, exhaust, and a good tune. no plans for mega power as its plenty fast for me out of the box. they be beatin up the new subies already. dunno how the new turbo ss fares against the srt 4 but thats another discussion and time.
They beat up on the subies from a roll.Quote:

If you do decide to get it and want to see how it stacks up against an SRT-4, let me know :twisted:
But I seriously think there will come to a point when you say "man, I wish I had something RWD/AWD" It happens to everyone. I am looking into an older Miata and throwing a fat turbo on it for my next project.

From what I am gathering, the Aveo will be replaced with the soon to be "mini car" series (probably the beat since it had the best reviews)
I was already aware of the Cobalt's short life span, being replaced with the Cruze, which will sport a 1.4L turbo (not sure if that will be a standard, probably optional) but the pictures of it look pretty slick. http://www.edmunds.com/chevrolet/cruze/2011/review.html
the Cruze is a pretty nice looking car, but i still love my Aveo and will miss it if they discontinue it.
