The fact remains, the Aveo is a decent if imperfect car.

corrected:

The wheel openings don't match from front to rear. I wish the sides and rear had been redesigned to match the boldness of the front end.

A sweet 1972 Toyota Celica:

I still refer to that car as the Ford Tampon...

My mother had a Rabbit Diesel the first year it came out... it had a pull knob for the glow plugs which we always forgot to use before starting. It never seemed to matter.

Oh... sorry... BMW on one occassion in 1956, fifty one years ago, used a wide mouth grill... that low and behold, neither relates to what Pontiac has done for the last forty years rather consistantly... nor what BWM chose to do for the next forty years.

It is odd that GM would have restyled just the front of this critter. If the rear has received some form of update, it's clear the "middle" was overlooked: note the discrepancy between the front and rear wheel openings: yikes.

For the record, BMW has copied Pontiac.

The voice over was eerie... the last bit in particular was a kind of weird draconian inflection to it: "SEE THEM AT YOUR RAMBLER DEALER. NOW."

My boss is on about his eighth Town Car... the car is amazingly NOT BIG on the inside, and though has a ($3600) Navigation system, still doesn't have a place to plug in a music-pod.

Driving a car = 2

The "GET SHORTY" "Cadillac of Minivans" was the previous, hoover-nose Silhoette...

Vega's: specially designed so they could be shipped via rail, standing vertically... engine upward inside special — vandalism reducing rail enclosures.

It's a good looking car... less bloaty looking than most stateside Buicks. Why not have a BUICK WITH AN EDGE here?

I dont' see anything about that Buick, at least in the photos anyway, that would keep it from being a rather desireable car here... it looks Impala-ish at the rear, but it looks less bloaty and more lean than stateside Buicks.

The Cricket wasn't horrible... it was just ok...

Coming the US?

Wouldn't a Westfalia Camper make just so much more sense?

The quality of Chrysler's may be exponentially better than it was just a few short years ago, but I still shudder every time I see a white Mk I Neon drive by with it's roof a giant blotch of exposed rust and the rest of its paint peeling off in large sheets.
