What's Wrong With This Picture: No Way That's An Aveo Edition

Kicking Tires calls these “the first official photos of the production version” of the next-generation Chevrolet Aveo. They show a subcompact that’s definitely less showcar-ish than the Aveo RS concept from NAIAS, but is still in the computer-generated “uncanny valley” between the realistic and real. Or maybe I’m just getting used to the idea of a halfway-appealing Aveo.

    I kinda like it but I do have one comment to make: Digital speedos SUCK!!! Digital should be used only for displaying measurements that don't change by 1-2 all the time. Like the time, the temperature, range to empty, etc. When used to display quantities that often fluctuate by a few, they are always winking and changing but not really giving you any useful information for all that distracting activity.

    @xyzzy: As the former owner of a long-gone Pontiac '87 6000STE, I agree completely about digital instruments. While I loved that car's handling and balance, the dashboard was a nightmare. When the circuits started failing, the repair bills were horrendous. I sold it for $3,500 with 67K miles and counted myself lucky. Don't do this, GM!

  • ToolGuy North America is already the greatest country on the planet, and I have learned to be careful about what I wish for in terms of making changes. I mean, if Greenland wants to buy JDM vehicles, isn't that for the Danes to decide?
  • ToolGuy Once again my home did not catch on fire and my fire extinguisher(s) stayed in the closet, unused. I guess I threw my money away on fire extinguishers.(And by fire extinguishers I mean nuclear missiles.)
