The Post mentions the Chevy Aveo. The car sells for less than half what a Toyota costs and gets comparable gas mileage.
Too bad that General Motors dosnt make that car in the United States. They import it from South Korea. Why doesnt General Motors build it here? Why dont they a fuel economical Diesel on the market?

Like the other big American auto manufacturers, they build plants in countries with non-union exploitable labor to offset losses generated by American plants with unionized overpaid labor.

Because UAW labor costs would put the cost in the Impala range. Still want an American Aveo?

Diesels are very bad for our lungs. Particulates = soot. How much soot do you want in the air you breathe?

As far as GM making the Aveo here, I agree. But Chevy doesn't even build the Colorado pickup....Isuzu does....
