It’s not often we get things right when we make jokes, but we did say that we thought Chevrolet->ke199 should change the name of the new Aveo->ke403. After all, the last one really was terrible.

We completely agree with this rumor, as separating this new model with the last one can only help sales. Take the new Cruze->ke3230 for instance. If it had been called the redesigned Cobalt->ke1222, would it have gotten the attention it’s currently getting?

The new Aveo will be built at GM’s Orion plant, which it recently renovated. Along with the new Aveo, Buick’s->ke17 small premium car, the Verano, will be built there as well. It will be the first small car built by the company in over 20 years and will be based off of the Cruze. In total, these two new vehicles could help save up to 1,500 jobs which could be extremely helpful in the current economy.
