Let's be clear about this: Chevy designed the Aveo here in America. It's an American designed car that was produced in Korea. If there are design flaws, they are American in origin. The car was produced in Korea with mostly Korean made materials. The political implications of buying a product that is not made and assembled in America seems to bother you greatly. But your annoyance and complaint is about global politics, not about car production.

Can't blame Korea? Daewoo was saved by Chevy, an American company.
Yes, and GM (Chevy) was "saved" by the US government. How is that any better? Or are we into the "too big to fail" excuse, which is also a political rationalization?

You talk like Korea has superior technology and like daewoo wasn't bought by chevy.Where is your proof that the programming and electronics are American-made or designed?
No, what Daewoo had to offer was an unprofitable company that could be acquired cheaply, and a work force that was less expensive to utilize than American labor would have been. No one said that Korean technology is superior. All the technology in the car is American designed (with the exception of some components such as the A/T which is Japanese). Have you noticed that features like all the door locks and the switches operate in the opposite direction of that of Asian designed vehicles? That's why the Aveo is a Chevy product, not a Daewoo product.

I wasn't trying to be a troll, whatever that is?
Seeing that you are experienced in posting to a forum I find it hard to believe that you don't know what a "troll" is.
