The Aveo is a good-looking shell (by Giugiaro I think) housing a horrible powerplant. People will jump into cool little cars as gas passes the $5 mark, then jump right out of them again when (A) they get used to $5 or $6 gas, and (B) they realize the minicar isn't saving them that much after all. 34 mpg hwy is pathetic for the Aveo. It's only marginally better than the Malibu, an actual family car. There is going to be a huge market for chic-stylish minicars in this country.

Well, it just will help Kia and Hyundai to lick GM now. You gotta be totally demented to pay more for Daewoo with Chevy logo then Hyundai/Kia without. And the bullshit that GM can't make money on small cars will not fly: this is Korean POS. If Kia/Hyundai can sell Rio/Accent for less what is GM problem? Not to mention that 250% more sophisticated Fit cost the same as top of the line (whatever that means for Daewoo) Aveo. When Toyota and Nissan execs read that they must of had party with geisha's and having royal hangover now and stomach pains from laughing.

Don't worry, I'm not just GM bashing. The Toyota Yaris has pretty pathetic gas mileage for how tiny it is too. A starting price of 12120 isn't bad at all, and when they aren't selling well GM will throw in 500-1000 cash back allowances. Considering the competition (Hyundai Accent, Kia Rio, and Toyota Yaris) GM has nothing to worry about with the price. 27/34 out of a car this still is pathetic. Don’t worry, I’m not just GM bashing.

Sounds like the giant is gouging the people it needs most right now.

They're being sold as they come off the delivery truck, and even used ones are selling around MSRP. This is unheard of with car models that are about to get replaced; at this point most dealers would be offering rebates. Honda has stated the 2nd generation car should address the shortfall. Between this problem and the slow release of the next generation hybrid, Honda is losing too many sales. The problem with the Fit is availability.

The article neglects to mention the cost of entry for a 2008 Aveo5 was actually $9,995 for the SV edition. Guess GM doesn't want to be selling a full 4-seat vehicle for less than the 2-seater Smart.
