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.
