    i heard on the news that there was enough money for 250,000 cars. They are saying that only 50,000 cars have been traded in so why are they out of money. Something doesn't compute.

    Something doesn't compute here either. He got $8300 for his clunker That's almost double the allowance.

    I think Dodge, and maybe another manufacturer, was matching the CFC funds.

    Even at $16000 this review doesn't think much of the Aveo.

    I've driven an Aveo. It was literally the last thing on Enterprise's lot in Norman, OK.

    Cornering? Yep, it'll turn a corner, but body roll and understeer don't even begin to describe the steering response.

    Acceleration? Sure........press down on the gas pedal, and make sure you plan all your moves well ahead of actually making them.....like entering a road out of a parking lot. Make sure you give all traffic about 100 yards of clearance, otherwise the poor little thing will be scared into inaction. VW Beetles (The originals, not the new ones) were quicker.

    Comfort? If your description of comfortable includes being closed in an Iron Maiden for a few hours, sure, it's comfortable.

    I'm really not sure whether it qualifies as a car. The same commission looking into waterboarding should be questioning GM execs about this car. If it were supplied to soldiers it would be a violation of the Hague convention.
