Chevrolet Aveo

The Chevrolet Aveo is a subcompact car released in 2003 from GM Daewoo, and based on the Daewoo Kalos. In other markets such as the United States and Canada and 2004 in North America, it replaced the slow-selling Daewoo Lanos . The Aveo is also a de facto late successor to the Chevrolet Metro subcompact sold only in North America, which had been discontinued in 2000 without a similar replacement. The correct pronunciation of "Aveo" is not clear as some reviewers give it as uh-VAY-oh and others as AH-vay-oh. The Chevrolet web site and literature offer no guidance. The car is based on a GM... Daewoo platform called T200, which is a replacement for the T100 platform used in Daewoo Lanos. There are no other vehicles using that platform, so the vehicle itself is also referred to as T200. In North America, 5-door hatchback and 4-door sedan models are sold. The new 2007 Aveo sedan debuted in January 2006 at the Greater Los Angeles Auto Show. Sales began in North America in August 2006. The car is also sold as Pontiac Wave and Suzuki Swift+ in Canada.
