What would get you out of your aveo?

[07_aveo]

Wow...different strokes for different folks I guess.

My wife won't let me have most of the cars I want.

Galant VR-4
Another 86 Dodge GLH
87 Dodge GLHS
87-89 CSX
89 Lancer Shelby
89-90 Turbo Voyager or Caravan.

Another turbo dodge fan .

Nothing would get me out of my Aveo. It is cheap, with a warranty and I will drive it until it dies. That is all I needed. I am content with my Aveo and my track car as of now. I would rather save up for a used Elise or a used SRT-8 JGC

Up, love the SD cars.

After owning two GLH models and both being in accidents, the wife won't let me bring anymore home.

I would not have been able to let that Galant go.

If so the Polo GTI has to be Really Really fun to drive.
And maybe not to much more $$$.

At $24K and paying $1 extra getting diesel over regular, it could get 200mpg and you would never end up saving money over the Aveo.

I still think diesel is the way to go and I applaud VW and Mercedes for putting more of them in cars for sale in the US market.

[petrified.rabbit]

it wouldnt be $24k. the charge based on what market demands. it is supposed to be @ the $12k dollar mark in the US. but i doubt we will see the clean diesel version.

[aveodude]

There is no way that VW will sell a brand new vehicle in the American market for $12K.

[petrified.rabbit]

the rabbit and sve jetta start at $15900. their whole reason of bringing over the smaller car is to dip further into the economy market like they used to be, for the first 50 years VW was in existence it was the small economy car company. even though their classes overlap like a polo GTI will probably cost more than lower level jettas. the base polo is supposed(speculated) to be around 13k.. but alot of people on vortex (dealer employees) are saying closer to 12. and it will be made in america, which probably mean mexico. but VW is building a plant in tennessee.

VW rabbit starts at $16.3K and the jetta starts at $17.5K

Even if it does come in at $12K, there is no way that it will come at that price with the 70mpg diesel engine. It will be a small 4 cyl with around 120hp and +30mpg making it no different than every other compact car. The reason I think it will be more thatn 12K is because look at all the cars that VW competes against. The Jetta is more money than a Civic, Corolla, Cobalt, Caliber, Sentra. And the Passat is more money than the Accord, Camry, Malibu, Charger, Altima.
