Welcome to Club Aveo
Any owner of a Chevy Aveo is welcome. We also welcome you if you own a Daewoo Kalos or Pontiac Wave, as they are all basically the same car.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
When we get enough members I will create a page with members screen names, a picture of their ride, and a link to their page!! For now the home page will have to quench our addiction for anything Aveo.
Here are some pics of the new for next year Aveo!! According to the sites I've visited, this car is actually on sale now overseas as the 2008 Aveo, and will be here next year as the 2009 model.
I found these stats on the net. They compare the current Aveo with the new model. If you find anything incorrect, let me know where you found the info and I'll check it out and make corrections/additions. Shmak1982.

The first column in the chart is for the 2009 Aveo5 LS and the second column represents the current Aveo 5 Door LS. Notice that the new model is 203 pounds heavier with only 4 additional hp to make up for it. That increases the power to weight ratio by over 1 pound per hp.
