I found this picture when I was trying to find green interiors. Green as in the color, not green-environmental.

The bumper is different. It has body color along the window area. The wiper is backwards. Tail lights different.

It has side markers at the rear.

I've never seen this color. Was it a stock color? When and where? I like it.

That, my friend, is a Chevrolet Aveo

^YEAH i thought it looked different
hey steph where did u get ur ap1 muffler?

 

From my cousin I don't think he has the other side though :/

 

Thanks!

I just looked at the new ones, and they look different, the image I found must be older. I don't see that color either.

So is the Aveo a copy of a FIT?

 

I believe the Aveo came out in the US before the Fit did... but IIRC, they had a simultaneous release worldwide (the GD1 was released far before our GD3's 2007 release). Probably copies off each other?

I'm gonna give Honda the benefit of the doubt though..

 

That's definitely a weird shade of green...like yellowgreen maybe. Looks okay, but I prefer a little more contrast :P

 

There was no Aveo in 2001 so I'm gonna put my money on that the Fit came first...

 

First Aveo I can find at Fueleconomy.gov is 2004. And the first 5-door (Aveo 5?) I see is 2005.

So, yes, the FIT was GO long before Aveo.

The early versions from what I see are somewhat similar to FIT, but the new one for this year? Ugly. I do NOT like the front end. It's got that gaping maw that reminds me of the Chrysler 300.

Of course the FIT gets better MPG! Yay!

 

I'm a little angry that there's all these commercials now of cars getting over 30mpg. I don't want the Fit to lose its' novelty factor when Camry's and Malibus are getting 30+ mpg. It's just not right.

 

there's more to the FIT than just mileage. I think it's a good looking car. It's not all sedan looking. It's got great magic seats, that beats the heck out of the cars you mentioned for versatility. It has a gazillion add-on parts to play around with making your FIT into a one-of-a-kind car. It FITS in smaller parking spaces and smaller garages (if you've ever seen the one car garages in older homes, you know what I mean).

And it still emits less CO2. You can check that yourself here:
Fuel Economy

Compare your FIT with other cars. For the California Camry, that 30 mpg is HIGHWAY, but it's average is 25. The FIT highway for my base auto is 35 and my average is 31. Big difference.

Plus, the 4 cylinder Camry dumps 1.4 tons more CO2 using their default values. (the non-hybrid).

Pay attention to the details in those commercials and do a fact check. Suddenly their advertising sounds like misleading baloney.

 

Did you just think an aveo looks like a fit???



BAN

 

No way! You're so mean! I pointed out all the things I saw that were different, but I'd never seen an Aveo before. Nor have I seen that color. That's why I asked!!!

I thought maybe it could be some special Fiji edition from the 90's.

 

The Aveo is a Korean car, it might have come out in Korea around 02, I don't care to look it up though. But if anyone is interested, there's your lead to chase down.

 

it's a rebadged Daewoo
