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.

I just filled up on mine tonight......I went 216 miles and it took 6.5 gallons to fill it back up.... That is driving around Dallas and Plano, Tx. and driving back and forth to work this week...

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.

Supporting Aveo5's responsive and economical driving experience is a new, Ecotec 1.6L DOHC four-cylinder powertrain. The sophisticated engine uses Dual Continuous Variable Cam Phasing - two continuously adjustable camshafts - to optimize the charge cycle for fuel economy and performance. As a result, this 16-valve DOHC engine delivers more horsepower than the previous engine, with ratings of 107 horsepower (80 kw)* and 106 lb.-ft. of torque (143 Nm)*, and nearly 8-percent improved fuel efficiency when compared to the previous Aveo5 model.
 
The new, 1.6L engine features additional technology highlights to improve fuel economy, quality, reliability and durability, including:
 
    * New four-in-one sheet metal exhaust manifold, with integrated catalytic converter and secondary underfloor catalytic converter
    * Engine oil cooler and piston oil squirters
    * New GM-corporate engine control system
    * Electronically controlled thermostat
    * Oil Life Monitoring System
 
Additionally, the engine is tuned for quieter performance, with a more pleasing sound during acceleration.
