Too bad the chevy cars we are getting here are the overpriced crap ones. Much better options on import.

Maybe they wanted to import something with Chevy on the badge that does more than 0.1 mpg ;D

Prefered Daewoo myself (pronounced Day-Woooo of course  ;D )

My vette gets 28mpg highway and 25city (my observations, not the manufacturer's). Far from 0.1!

Because of the cost of fuel I hardly ever drive it, it uses premium...

Our US exchange pilot came in chuckling the other day, telling us how back home people were paying about $2/gallon, and getting upset about it...

Over here at the mo we're paying around

I understand that pain, my '69 Camaro needs premium too.  I hardly drive it anyway, but the gas prices do affect the amount of mileage I put on it.

I didn't realise Daewoo was still in business. Shows how much I know about cars. They had a big headquarters in my home town but that was closed down some time ago. http://www.nortonrose.com/news/viewrelease.asp?pressid=283

Used to see a lot of Daewoo cars around here at one time. That figures cos they were cheap. Problem was the resale value & unless you replaced it with one of the same make you would lose out. I don't remember seeing one recently. Wonder where they all went? ::).

PS. It's pronounced Die-oo if anyone's interested. ;)
