Discussion resumed.

Did I mention I hated the Aveo? NO. I would have liked having the sunroof option on the Yaris. I think Chevy had the right idea with the Aveo but I would never own one thanks to my former history with American cars (GM in particular).

In the past 25 years ive owned a Chevy Camaro, a Lincoln Mark VII LSC, a Pontiac Grand Am GT sedan, and a Chrysler Sebring convertible. All turned out to be utter crap, in the service bay as much as on the road. Electrical gremlins, transmissions that needed replacing after 80K, multiple front and rear seal oil leaks, etc.....

Ive also had a Nissan Maxima, a Honda Del Sol and a Volvo 850 turbo, each of which outperformed the domestic cars in every regard and went over 100K without a sweat...In fact, I wish I never sold my Honda as it was the best car I have ever owned!!!!

So GM, no thanks: burned in the past means youve lost me forever as a consumer.

But I still shop at Wal-Mart. Does that make me an American? LOLOLOLOL.
