viva? what is up with name? If it does anything, it’s going to make me die…not live!

viva? sounds like chevy’s biting off fords latin “fiesta” nameplate.
is this suppose to attractive hispanic shoppers?…….pathetic

looks nice, it’s a mini cuv with more ground clearance instead of a small hatchback like the fit.

Apparently, they didn’t follow my advice to replace the Aveo with a refrigerator box on a hand truck.

You sure this isn’t a smaller Aztek replacement they are driving around with the camper kit installed?

they should call it the verve!

Everyone would rather not drive this.

“…reports suggested it was a much more stylized, aggressive looking car than the current model.” Wow, that’s going to be a hard one to pull off!!!

NMOFGM (and clones) can you stop spamming Auto blogs, you really need to be banned,my IQ drops every time I read your comments.

Oh man… will this be another scary car to drive?! lol

^^ from past history, yep, but hopefully no. Sorry GM diehards, but im not confident

Wow!! The car doesn’t even come out untill 2011 and everyone is already saying its crap. I just realized a long time ago that there are not that many people on this site, and the people on here don’t truly respect the automobile. I know, most kust skip my comments because they think im a troll, (And what in the hell? troll? How immature!) but i feel i make the most sense.

I wish there was a way to delete the trolls. But then LLN would go out of business.

OMG! I gotta have this car.

I have a 2010 Chevy Camaro SS for trade.
I want this Viva with the Cow print paint design.

Chevy dealers contact me for a deposit. I have $25 right now. Will that get me my 1/3 down
payment?

Thanks!

It seems that any thing that deals with GM ( more than any company) and Toyota seems to attract Trolls and blind fanboyism, other companies have their share but not to the same extent.

@iluvamcars: your posts are very tolerable compared to the cringe inducing comments of some of the people here.

Its looks like the latest Mitsubishi Colt, short and wedgy. Glad they are thinking of changing the name. The Aveo congers up imaging of WalMart quality.

Hey NMOFGM, look like GM came out another crap car again.

The Aveo was a good first try, now they are refining it and dialing in the suspension at the Nurburgring. The Viva will destroy the Mini Cooper on and off the track in handling, luxury, and refinement.

GM. Yes We Can. An American Revolution. We Are Professional Grade. The Class of World Class. Life. Liberty. And The Pursuit. Born From Jets. Fresh Thinking, Better Cars.

iluvamcars, you’re wrong. Buy low and sell high… now that makes sense. What you just posted is a piss poor attempt at self serving drivel. Maybe you and all the other Mensa candidates should start your own blog.

beatus… funny!

EMINEM, that may be the best comment you’ve made on this site… and you’re right, the name Viva is a blatant attempt by Chevy to steal some of the Fiesta’s thunder.

Johnny, piss poor attempt? I never said this car isn’t crap, i said people are labeling it as crap. Maybe they are right, or maybe they are wrong but don’t judge a book by its cover! The only way people can label it is after they drive it for themselves, and not based on how bad the previous model was!

-iluvamcars

I agree with you iluvamcars. It’s getting to the point now of just reading the article and skipping everyone’s 2 cents. It’s about all they’re worth anyway.

iluvamcars, you are right and you are brilliant.

Ilove that cow camouflage. I think GM should sell it as is, no further development needed. Faithful will buy it anyway. Don’t believe me? Ask NMOFGM.

You didn’t hear? NMOFGM owns a Hyundai Genesis Coupe.

Lime green might I add.

Oh look!! How nice!! Let me guess. Another rebadged Daewoo?

Looks interesting for its class. I wish GM would buck the trend of constantly renaming their vehicles. Yeah the current Aveo isn’t the best car in its class but keeping a nameplate around for several models is a way people can track progress in refinement. Besides, in human nature there is a level of loyalty that should be played upon better by GM. The import brands realized that some time ago. Unfortunately because it is a GM product, several drones on here are just following their programming and bashing it. Sad little drones. No free thought.

drone = blind hatred, drive-by insults, no data, no facts, no support, no references, emotion laden posts, listens to Consumer’s Report, not open to discussion, rarely reads entire story, self deluded, blind support of particular brand and typically distracts from discussion. Drone status seems to always apply to those with screen names beginning in “Need More ____ For”.

other posts = constructive thoughts, open to discussion, can have strong opinions but understands that others can as well, keeps emotions to a minimum in posts, posts are on topic, has the mental capacity of at least a high school graduate, brings new perspective to a discussion and isn’t trying change people to think the way they do with each post.

GM already confirmed that the Aveo name will stay, thank God! Viva is an even worse name than Cruze.
LLN needs to keep up with the info.
Lutz actually said the next Aveo will beat the Fit and others in handling. I will believe it when I see it.

This class of cars is growing and offereing more choice, which is a fantastic development in itself.

If you are a college working student and need basic transportation and do not want anything from the Japanese or Korean auto makers, then this is one of the options.

neste_s… WRONG. Because it will be built by Daewoo in S.Korea. Thus you’re still driving a Korean car, and actually worse because you’re driving a Daewoo, rather than a significantly better quality Accent/Rio…

Good lord, you trolls are idiots.

Idrinor, EMINEM, EVER HEARD OF THE VAUXHALL VIVA? A GM vehicle from the ’60s?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vauxhall_Viva

Apparently, Ford copied GM with the Fiesta name by your idiot “logic”.

Good grief almighty.

I changed my mind on this piece of junk. Can’t GM make anything worth while anymore, besides this China made junk !!

GM. An American Embarrassment !!

orangecones….calm down! geez

inline6
are vauxhall’s sold in the us? NO.
. So they dont count, thats like me saying the ford ranger isnt made in 4 doors, but in australia it is. I’m talking about the U.S. Gm is calling it the viva to comp with the fiesta, not only are they about the same size, but there ripping the nameplate. come on inline6, i expected more from you.

Het everybody,I don’t mean to rain on tour parade,but Ford SUCKS!

Excuse my spelling,tour should be your! Regardless, Ford SUCKS!

Het should be Hey,but what the Hell,Ford still SUCKS!

oh my god, another crappy chevy product. lol Why am I not surprised

What’s good for General Motors is good for the Country

Be American. Buy American. Buy GM. it is your patriotic obligation

They got their work cut out for them, with the Fiesta, Fit, and maybe new Renault based Nissan and Suzuki Swift rumors. The field will be crowded with competent machines.

Sorry for going off subject!

Man, everyone is ripping this because this car was developed by Daewoo. I am wondering how many people here realize the platform is based off the Opel Corsa D which was designed by Fiat and Opel. Again as many of the newer GM vehicles this is going to be a global design.

cmon guys leave NMOFGM alone. He is unemployed right now like many other UAW members. the glory days of UAW is history. This country needs real American workers not UAW who make a lot of money of the public’s back. If the BIG 3 were smart, they would relocate all their factories to the south to rid themselves of all this union leeches like Boeing did. Let us cheer for real american workers not union guys who get paid even when they dont work…..

Fordman, Why does Ford suck? They products are one of the best you could buy. Even though it seems you are trying hard..you are not fooling anyone. Shouldent you be practicing your ABC’S?

There.

Buy a real American car. FORD. It didn’t steal the money out of your wallet.
Garbage motors should be boycotted.
Long live Ford. The real American company

09Accord, I’m not picking on you because this is a common mistake, so I’m going to help everyone understand the difference between the different homonyms of “there”.

There – location – “Let’s try the beer over there.”

Their – possessive of a plural group – “Their beer was better than ours.”

They’re – contraction of “they are” – “They’re good at making beer.”

09 is right, though, FordMan. Ford has some good product, and they definitely don’t “suck”. You’re just being a poo, and it’s almost as annoying as NMOFGM (but not quite, because your comments are much shorter).

To everyone else, just ignore those guys. They are nothing more than pot stirrers.

Buying an “American” car is hardly a patriotic obligation you idiot. The real patriotic obligations are much more important that that.

1. Pay Taxes (To buy crappy car companies that made stupid decision after stupid decision)
2. Serve in the Military (True patriots and people who realize that to live in a free country, you must serve)
3. Don’t be an ignorant idiot.

Be American. Buy GM…. Oh wait, WE already did

I think the Aveo will be better, and its cross town rival from KIA the next gen Rio will be great as well. The question is, can Daewoo produce KIA reliablitiy though?
