My old 1988 Lemans (Daewoo) had the 1.6 SOHC engine which I know carried over for many year. I believe the current model is the same though it was beefed up block wise for durability and quietness not to mention the DOHC added. Is this next generation engine which claims to get 8% better mpg the same engine block now with just VVT added?

I think i might wait for the 2009 aveo. But its not easy to pass up all those discounts on the 2008 aveo. 1000.00 cash back and the 0% rate.
when will the 2009 aveo be out? I made a wishlist for aveo on my tivo hd to record any show with aveo in it. I hope its on motor week soon.
motorweek only got 25 mpg from the 2008 aveo when they test drove it.

Check out this link...it shows the ordering times for Chevrolet Aveos and other models. While it doesn't say exactly when they will be release, it may give an insight to that question.

By the way, 25 MPG City is what I got on the 05 Aveo 5-door that I had, 30-31 MPG highway.

My 99 Chevy Malibu with a 2.4 gets over 32 mpg on the highway. Aveo should be able to do better then that. but my Malibu gets about 16mpg in city driving. And I rarely get on the highway now. i drive 50 miles a week now:)

Was that their city figure? When they tested it last season the Nissan Versa was the only one with slighly lower mpg. Two seasons ago the Aveo won their shoot out vs. the Toyota Echo, Scian XA, and a Kia model. It was an overall win not based on mpg but all features. I remember them saying the Aveo was the best commuter car with ride, handling, interior, etc. The MotorWeek achives probably still has the information.

Interesting. I sat in an Aveo for the first time a few weeks ago and my first impression of the interior was, Wow, these seats are comfortable.

I've seen some reviews that don't like the seats. Took my 08 Sedan on a road trip from Cleveland to Dayton 2 weeks ago (first time I've sat in it for over 4 hours straight) and have to say I like them quite a bit. They're not plush, but they are supportive. The lumbar support is great. Glad I made the choice I did.
BTW, some sites are posting specs on the 09. Looks like the same engine and tranny. Only real feature on the 09 I could see that's not available on the 08 is On-Star. And it seems the SVM trim on the Aveo 5 is no longer available. No great loss there unless you really want something with no AC.
