Good news! Chevy/GM is saved!

[Leonidae]

and this is the way they do it..

Water's wet, fire burns, and the Chevy Aveo5 sucks. Drivers in the Middle East who voluntarily subject themselves to this tragedy now have a way to ensure that onlookers stop, point and laugh at their expense, thanks to GM's new factory humiliation customization program. Basically, the sky's the limit in terms of poor taste, as exhibited by this example, tricked out by a dealer in Abu Dhabi. Hey, are those quilted pleather seats? Why yes, we believe they are. Think you can do worse? Visit totallystreet.com to plumb the depths for yourselves. Just be ready for your gag reflex to kick in. An entirely over-enthusiastic press release follows the jump. Seriously: "Earn Street Cred?" Put that hookah down, now!

What an EMBARASSMENT,to US car makers.

 

[buickgnx88]

Eh seems like Pimp My Ride would be worse.

 

[Solid Lifters]

Needs more flames.








































...like the kind that comes from a gas can and a lit match.

 

[wrcsti]

Damg, I have model cars with less tacked on plastic interiors than that one.

 

[Sage]

What amazes me is that there are managers/executives who actually greenlight these sort of things.

It used to be far worse:

 

[YSSMAN]

Keep in mind that this is Chevrolet Middle-East, and this is happening in DUBAI... Not here.

If they want to spend their petro-dollars for crap like this, by all means, give GM $40K for a car that cost them $0.26 to build.

Well, this is the way Chevrolet is going in Europe as well. The rebranded Daewoo (Korean) models are all what they sell here (Netherlands) from Chevrolet. And they're not doing all that bad either. The smaller models and the Captiva are not that unsuccessful over here. They're pretty cheap as well. Ofcourse you get what you pay for.

It used to be far worse:

I lolled. Where can I get one? Behind that plastic, I'm certain, but other than that...

 

[opendriver]

Yo dawg we heard you like flames on yo aveo





Drive it off a cliff, then set it on fire.

 

[Bram Turismo]

Oh dear, that car looks totally rediculous!

 

[Rykon Zero]

Oh. I thought the thread title was honest. Then I thought you went mad.

 

[Leonidae]

Sarcasm is bit difficult to express in the web..

 

[Philly]

Ballin' out-of-control.

That's what thems is right ther.

 

[HACKr]

I wonder how much horsepower those flames add?

 

[Philly]

I'd say probably 15 horsepower per flame, 5 for the big Chevy logos on the side, 20 for the blacked out grille and hood and then another 10 from the interior.

I believe that buy has just doubled the performance numbers of his Aveo...

 

[Jim Prower]

And this couldn't just go in the Questionable Modifications thread WHY?

Oh, right, because we need to antagonize GM no matter what.

 

[Tornado]

I'd say since it isn't really a modification. Why its in Auto News is a bigger question, but I don't particularly care.
