Ok guys, the Impala and Monte Carlo statement was a joke. But on the flip side, we are starting to get some previously euro-only stuff like the Smart over here.

I’m not surprised, aveo is not bad at all. I’d rather drive an aveo instead of that homo looking yaris.

I rented an Aveo, with low expectations, but it got up to 85 without any undue effort.

But the Monte Carlo and ImpalaSS aren’t designed for Europe. Its like trying to stuff an Apple hard drive into a Dell computer its not going to work. Also I don’t think Americans really care about what Europeans think about them hehe. Were not as self-conscious as Europe is but that might not be the best thing for us.

I see those Aveo’s everywhere now. There was one parked next to a new Fit and the Aveo actually looks better. Hey im suprised LP640 didn’t post some retarded comment… Then again maybe he fell asleep in his computer chair.

“On ‘Chevwoo’: I’d like to see them try to sell the Monte Carlo or Impala SS in Europe It would confirm every European bias against the US…”

It would confirm every european bias towards small and efficient cars. You guys gotta stop blamming bias against US for cars that just don’t suit our roads, cities and gas prices.

GM Canada no longer lists the Epica as being available. It was an okay vehicle, a bit underpowered (155 hp from an inline 6), but generally well built. It was the second generation Daewoo Laganza.

The Chevrolet Epica is actually really nice looking. Somewhere in between a BMW 5 series, and Lexus LS, and the current Impala. Wonder why we don’t get that?

2nd news story today from the Detroit News. Should we just skip LLN and start going straight to the source?

Chevrolet Epica IS sold in Canada! And in the US it’s sold as Suzuki Verona!
Also Canada gets badge engineered Aveo as Pontiac Wave and Suzuki Swift+.
