[edit] Aveo Owner's Manual?

somebody can help me? where we get aveo manual book

My best guess would be to check with your Chevy dealer. If not, check to see if Chilton or Haynes has a repair manual for your Aveo, if not, then see if you know a mechanic that can help you find a manual. But, first and foremost, I'd say to check with your Chevy dealer. DanCBJMS, 12:52, Wednesday, 26 October, 2005 (EDT); 16:52, Wednesday, 26 October, 2005 (UTC)

The dealer is a good idea, but you can also try ebay. Bok269 20:33, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Daewoo Kalos

On the WikiProject Automobiles[1] page, there appears to be a consensus that the country of origin's convention be adopted. I vote to have this entry moved to Daewoo Kalos, which is the vehicle's name in Korea, and the facts aligned to that of the Korean market. This convention is adopted for all other automotive entries to date at Wikipedia, apart from a few exceptions that editors have not got to yet. Stombs 12:30, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

Unless there are sufficient differences between the Kalos and the Aveo to warrant two pages, I second the motion. --SFoskett 13:09, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

If you think this page should be moved, first list it at WP:RM to start a proper voting procedure, then provide a correct voting and discussion template on this talk page, as suggested by Wikipedia:Requested moves#Instructions. --DmitryKo 14:54, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Note: This naming convention/move discussion has been centralized at the Automobile WikiProject. Dragons flight 02:30, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] pronounciation?

Anyone have any information on the pronounciation of the word "aveo"? I've heard both "ah - vee - oh" and "ah - vay - oh". Hosterweis (talk) (contribs) 21:12, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Moved

Page moved to the Daewoo version and double redirects fixed as per requested move. Ryan Norton ^{T | @ | C} 07:36, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Chevrolet Aveo is now a disambig

How great is this? :mad: --DmitryKo 23:48, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Because the Aveo doesn't have its own page, it is mentioned on the pages of the Daewoos its based on. Since they are two different vehicles, they are on seperate pages. The disambig exists to direct people to the page they are looking for. Bok269 20:33, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

I think Aveo should have its own page. -Paul- 21:41, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pontiac Version in Mexico

I remember there being a version of the Kalos sold in Mexico, possibly called the G2. When I went to the Pontiac of Mexico website, it showed a Matiz-based (not Kalos based) car under that name. Can anyone confirm that there was a model as I describe sold there, and I'll add it? Bok269 21:09, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Pontiac G3 -> http://www.g3.com.mx/ Bravada, talk - 21:14, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Poor performance in crash tests

I've noticed recently on the EuroNCAP website that the Aveo received 2 stars for the Adult Occupant Rating, with one of the stars "flagged" to note a particular danger in some aspect - this is quite alarmingly bad for such a modern car. I think this should be noted in the article somewhere, but I'm not sure where to put it and I have to go for lunch now! --Zilog Jones 12:01, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that was a massive blow to its image, it completely massacred TK Barina sales in Australia... When the story surfaced, I didn't have time to put it there, and then I forgot - if you could please, I would be grateful! Bravada, talk - 13:38, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge request

The Aveo, Gentra, and Kalos are all the same vehicle, and there is no unique information in any of the articles, and Kalos is the home-market name. IFCAR 03:02, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

But the Aveo name is much more widely known in the English speaking world, and that takes priority on the English Wikipedia. - 66.93.200.116 01:41, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia policy is to use the home-market name. Aveo would be a redirect. IFCAR 13:26, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Seeing as the Aveo is a re badged Kalos it would be much more prudent to merge Aveo in to Kalos

One question: how similar are the T200 and T250? If they are different enough, there could be one article for each generation. Now, if the T250 is only a major facelift, the three pages should be mergerd into one. -- NaBUru38 19:15, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

They were one page and were doing pretty fine before Bull-Doser administered his self-appointed split to stuff in more of his pics. The Gentra is nothing more but the name for a facelifted sedan version, it isn't any more "different" than the pre- and post-facelift second-gen Seat Ibiza/Cordoba.
