I just don't understand the Aveo doing so well. I had a rental Aveo and it's the worst car I've ever driven.

My wife has a '04 Aveo HB. She loves the thing, but it a cut way below the Yaris. Fit and finish is mediocre. It does require a good deal more scheduled maintenance (timing belt @60K, coolant@30k, ATF@30K). I have kept up the maintenance and it has been reliable as a work commuter, but it makes the Yaris seem like a sub-compact luxury car.

Could it be due to:
a) no supply due to earthquake/tsunami (there was a picture of hundreds of sedans that were destroyed) ; or
b) dealers gouging customers using earthquake/tsunami as excuse; or
c) customers staying away because they are afraid of being gouged?

I guess the other piece of information needed is # of days' supply of Yaris.
