Not all chevy sold here are based on Daewoo. Even those that are based on daewoo have been upgraded in quality & built. Bottomline - s'porean are number crunchers and they know a good deal when they smell one.Originally posted by harrow:Was just wondering what's the justification/s one had when buying Chevolet?

So its a lousy car? I'll be better off with a toyota/honda?Originally posted by cornyfish2000:Chevrolet used to be a reputable American brand... alas no longer.. now the models available here are nothing more than rebadged Daewoos...![]()
I know Aveo is rebadged Daewoos, but is Optra too? I thought Optra is a different platform?Originally posted by cornyfish2000:Chevrolet used to be a reputable American brand... alas no longer.. now the models available here are nothing more than rebadged Daewoos...![]()
Chevrolet has bought over the tooling and manu.line from Daewoo, so it's a misconception that they are still Daewoo made and rebadged by Chevy.Originally posted by wbucket:I know Aveo is rebadged Daewoos, but is Optra too? I thought Optra is a different platform?
Anyway, I would attribute their sales to design and the feel of luxury at a price to match. Optra now is about the price of lancer and vios, but how much more luxury it looks compared to the other 2. Of course you can't get the punch out of Optra's engine, but speed and FC is not always the main concern.
And of course I always think that Aveo is among the better hot hatch around that price range. Why not go to their showroom, have a look?

If u think the road tax is horrendous, wait till u see its FC... heheheOriginally posted by LazerLordz:Chevrolet has bought over the tooling and manu.line from Daewoo, so it's a misconception that they are still Daewoo made and rebadged by Chevy.
Oh yes..the Corvette is finally coming to our shores...but the road tax for a 7.0L will be horrendous
Comfortable ride - Yes, FC - weak. But then again I guess most people don't really care about FC as long as they like the looks. Auto-transmission is never adviseable if you want to go for FC-wise.Originally posted by Lestadt:Hi guyz....can advise me whether to get an Aveo5 anot? For auto transmission, whats the FC like?
I'm getting it soon but of cos I need to learn and know the faults of this car. I dont care if it's manufactured in Korea or whatsover, I am just looking for a comfortable ride with low FC.
Buick is another American brand. But it's in the GM family too.Originally posted by BlueSparkle:In China, i think i saw them being badged as BUICK.
Hmmm....The salesgirl told me can easily get 13km/l.Originally posted by wbucket:Comfortable ride - Yes, FC - weak. But then again I guess most people don't really care about FC as long as they like the looks. Auto-transmission is never adviseable if you want to go for FC-wise.
You listern to Girls talk about car, you must listern carefully. My friend (female) can clock 20-21 average with air-con, I can only do 16-17 with the same car. For them of course easy lah!!! Anyway, we should see your FC when you get yours.Originally posted by Lestadt:Hmmm....The salesgirl told me can easily get 13km/l.
