Chevrolet says: No More Aveo

[MetroMPG]

Ok everyone, hate to be the bearer of bad news. I wanted to see why the Chevrolet websites had not been update to reflect the arrival of the 2011 Aveo.

(Did you mean to type "2012" in that sentence?)

I think your GM rep was misinformed. I think the key phrases from her in your chat transcript are...

Unfortunately, ***according to my resources*** I am unaware of a 2012 Aveo

Quite possible her resources aren't right. She was probably just clicking links on an intranet page, which is only as good as the person who made the page for her.

Unfortunatley, we do not have information if there will be a 2012 model, ***but my thought*** would be no.

Doesn't exactly sound conclusive to me!

• FYI, here's the 2011 Aveo, from Chevy's corporate site, detailing changes specific to the 2011 model year sedan and hatch:

• For the *2012* model: I doubt GM is going to try pulling a fast one on us by documenting the ongoing retooling of the factory that will produce the next gen Aveo ... only to yell "psych!" at the last minute and not produce the car.

• Of course there was always the chance that the company would drop the Aveo name and come up with something new. But that seems unlikely now for 2 reasons: 1) the cost of introducing a new model from a marketing perspective, and, 2) all the great press reaction they got from the Aveo RS concept would be wasted.

• FYI, GM Canada is showing the Aveo RS concept under its "Future Vehicles" section:

Of course, anything is possible. But if I had to bet, I'd put my money on seeing a 2012 Aveo.
