You're the second to say the new Focus is better.

The Chevy Cruze is the Focus competitor.

It's like saying that the Lexus LS is better than the GS. Of course it is!

I like the Fiesta better

Ahh - you're right. My bad.... I can honestly say the Aveo seems to have "stepped up" but I guess when comparing it's not exactly in the same size classification.

I'll expect to tryi it, as a rental car.

I personally was referring to the upcoming Focus, not this horrid one. I think others in this thread meant the same thing (I hope!!)

My wife (then girlfriend) had a 2000 Focus SE 4-dr w/ the Zetec engine and I thought it looked pretty good. Over the years they have softened the appearance and now it just looks dumb.

This is the new one coming out:

I too have to say this vehicle is a step up from the current gen aveo....I drove one of my managers rental veoh's for a pickup, and boy o boy....was that car cheap as HELL on the inside......who would actually buy a car that cheap looking and feeling?

joe80

gotcha, madmax

yeah, new one is very nice. but i think Aveo is finally competitive in styling department. it will do well.

looks better than the last. I see some KIA forte and lancer styling cues there. Its about time the American learn to copy the Japanese

The kicker in the old car was that you can throw a bouncy ball in there and it would go for quite a long time all over the plastics in the car

Hopefully they addressed all cheapness factors in the new one...
