The Aveo will only be worth about 50% of it's selling price after 3 years. Any Toyota[the Yaris was mentioned] or Honda will be worth 75% of it's purchase price. Even Fords are starting to retain some value where in the past they rivaled GM in used car value.
GM keeps spending BILLIONS in advertising claiming their cars are as good as the competition. They are NOT!
Yes, a few models shine...but too many GM cars are just junk...the Impala comes to mind.
I would not have a Chrysler product and the Dakota is among the least reliable trucks in existence. ALL Chrysler products suffer from crap electrical systems and motors [including the Hemi] that have numerous design flaws.
The Aveo has a bad rep and just advertising and paying off major auto publications to market it will not work.

I am a GM man, love GM always opt for a GM car, if they have what i am looking for. But what i will say is that the 2007 chevy aveo my wife had was a pos. she only put 27,000 miles on it and had to replace bearings, and have the whole housing pan and housing rebuilt because of bad gaskets. We promptly got trade it in, unfortunately on a 09 mazda5, thats because the chevy orlando hasnt come out yet. I was hoping we could hold out, but the car was falling apart.

I hope like hell it's a GREAT car, but GM needs to stress quality as much as advertising....
