The Optra is okay, but is no longer the bargain it used to be. The Aveo is just plain overpriced - a Getz is better for cheaper. And the Spark, 490k?! Smaller than a Picanto?! 350k is more like it. Where's the nearest Kia dealership?

i guess their phobia comes from the fact that most new Chevy sedans are Daewoos, coming from the GM-DAT alliance.

Daewoo Nubira/Chevy Optra

Daewoo Gentra/Chevy Aveo

I'd really like to see what the local model will look like, what features it will have and how much GM will charge for it.

They still seem to think they can charge a premium for their bowtie badges.

The Thai built ASEAN Aveo sedan should look similar to the Aveo sedan sold in India.

The ASEAN Aveo will be manufactured in the same Rayong Thailand plant that manufactures the ASEAN Chevy Optra.

Expect the Thai built ASEAN Aveo sedan to be priced just below the equivalent Vios.

New Chevrolet Aveo prepares to roll out mid-month, in the east

General Motors Thailand has announced that the new Chevy Aveo will be rolling off the assembly lines sometime in mid-August.

Details on the new subcompact are scarce, but we know that it's the first major collaboration between GM's international production teams, with aid from Asia, Australia, Europe, Latin America and North America, joined by penmanship courtesy of the Italdesign Giugiaro Design Studio. Aside from the mutli-cultural design language, the new Aveo will include a "euro-tuned" suspension along with interior space rivaling some of the biggest players in its class.

The new sub-compacts are to be produced in Rayong Province, Thailand and will only be sold in Thailand and the Asian-Pacific region. It's unknown how much of this version will transfer over to the American Aveo (pictured) which is due for a redesign some time this year.

models they offer could be at par or better with the established brands here... pero read at other posts here and you will see aftermarket sales & service suck big time...

Sayang kung okay ang unit... bad ang sevice... pipiliin pa rin ng tao ang average performing unit with ok service....

i guess it will be down to pricing then.

i think most of the people hindi naman naghuhusga e .. they just say what they have experienced themselves or their friends had experienced with the optra ... i have three friends who owns the 1.6lt all said that its the worst buy na nagawa nila matakaw sa gas tons of problems and it came from optra owners themselves .. i have experienced one of them .. while riding with my friend in his optra EVERYTHING INSIDE just went out ! dashboard lahat ng lights na meron napundi ata or watever while running in the evening ...

well i hope this new model from chevy/daewoo is better than their old models here ... but as jeremy clarkson said ... even if you changed your name to brad pitt, your still not brad pitt .. (daewoo - chevy)
