If they don't, at least they already made something, right? But right now they aren't. There's a reason they just went through bankruptcy you know.

for the Aveo, is that if you blow the extra $395 or whatever for the leatherette, it actually dresses the car up pretty nicely. FWIW, I don't think the Aveo is a horrible little car...it's just that in this class, there's so much better out there, for not much more money. I wonder though, what the average transaction price is for an Aveo? Even if the MSRP doesn't seem like much of a bargain, I wonder if out-the-door, the typical Aveo might cost a lot less than an equivalent Yaris, Accent, Versa, etc?

Replying to: ateixeira (Aug 05, 2009 11:48 am) Accent is pretty roomy inside too, though not as much as a Versa or Cube. Same with Elantra (ESPECIALLY the Touring). it's really impressive how much room Hyundai and Nissan have put into the interiors of these smaller vehicles. |

Replying to: andre1969 (Aug 05, 2009 11:57 am) Let me check their Chevy store, same dealer also sells Aveos... Bummer! None in stock. Still, at anywhere near Sonata money I'd run not walk away from an Aveo. |
