I like the interior, but overall I like the Ford 2012 Focus better.

I haven't read the linked review yet. All of the reports I've read in the past say that the Aveo is one of the worst cars out there (if not the worst). I assume the new one is still made by Daewoo; hopefully the quality of the new one will be vastly improved.
For myself, I will never buy a GM or Chrysler.

Is it because they needed a business loan? For what it's worth, it's a loan being paid back (they've even started ahead of schedule).
I hate the idea of a government loan too but let's not forget that right when a loan was needed, the credit market dried up. A year or two earlier, Ford was able to guarantee private loans before the banking collapse. Ford would've needed the same. The public seems to think GM and Chrysler got tons of free money so now it's time to boycott them. It's just not true. Are students who receive federal student loans considered "bailed out" losers? |

Simply making an analogy showing that when a loan can't be had in the private sector (as some students don't get the opportunity to get a private loan), the government, I hate to say, may represent a last resort. People say "bailout" but it was simply a loan. One that saved them no doubt but businesses get loans all the time to stay afloat in bad times.

Don't even know what a Chey Cruze is. But I know what you mean, like all the Fit vs. Yaris comments; price and features-wise it should be Fit vs. xD

Replacement for the lackluster Cobalt. A HUGE improvement. Naturally, like the Fiesta, the Cruze is has already been on sale outside of GM's own country.

Yeah, some people need to get their classes right. It's... Entry-level sub-compact class = - Yaris, Accent, Versa, Aveo, Fiesta, Mazda 2, Fit (yeah it costs more but is intended to be in the entry level sub-compact class). You can also add the xD to this class. Compact class = - Corolla, Civic, Focus, Cruze, Sentra, Caliber, Elantra, Mazda 3 Last edited by Kal-El; 02-25-2010 at 12:18 AM. |
