I also read this in a newsletter from Tom Dwyer Automotive. No wonder their cars blow.

If you saw a Chevy Aveo and its price you wouldn't be so harsh. First, you can tell it is a cheap piece of shit just looking at it, second it is actually cheap.

I had an Aveo as a rental when I dropped my car off for service one time. fun car its like a go-kart.

Look at a four door hatchback version, the rear wheel is about 15 inches from where your butt would be.

Is this really news to you? GM has partly owned Daewoo since the 70's and purchased them in 2001 because they thought they could make a killing selling a cheap little Korean car in the states. Problem with that was, they also had Geo filling the same market share. A few years later they got rid of both brands in America, giving the Tracker and Metro Chevrolet names. Product overlap has plagued GM for the last 25 years. The Silverado and Sierra are the same pick up truck and the out sell the F150 every year combined, make on model and suddenly you would have the number one pick up truck in America.

coming from a GM fan, the following statement is hard to sometimes swallow.

Asking GM to make one kind of truck (either make all trucks GMC or all trucks Chevrolet), would make sense. So why the hell would they do that?

Another statement said by a GM fan that is hard to swallow..there isn't a GM car made from 1973-1999 that I would willingly buy (sans the last 2 generations of the Corvette, and some Cadillacs) outside of the pickups. The rest of their cars just don't do it for me.
