- Style, safety, fuel efficiency, agile handling and upscale amenities - all starting at just $12,950
- Content-packed Aveo sedan models undercut competitor pricing by thousands of dollars

Oshawa, Ontario (Tuesday, August 15, 2006) - General Motors of Canada today announced pricing for the new 2007 Chevrolet Aveo sedan which will go on sale at Chevrolet dealerships across Canada beginning this month. All-new exterior and interior design brings new refinement and is combined with a more confident, dynamic driving experience and a comprehensive range of safety, comfort, convenience and entertainment features.
With a starting MSRP of just $12,950, the fuel efficient Aveo sedan represents outstanding value. Its 1.6L 16-valve E-TEC II DOHC engine delivers 103 horsepower and 107 lb.-ft. of torque with a smooth-shifting five-speed manual transmission. A four-speed automatic transmission is available with adaptive shift technology to maximize fuel savings and also features a segment-exclusive Hold Control Mode enabling drivers to hold a higher gear to improve traction on slippery road surfaces.

The base Aveo sedan LS model also includes as standard: dual stage front air bags with frontal passenger sensing system, auxiliary input for iPods, MP3 players and other devices, AM/FM stereo with single CD and MP3 playback capability and 4-speakers, driver seat with lumbar support and armrest, tilt steering, a fully-reclining front passenger seat and 60/40-split folding rear seat.

The up-level LT model adds air conditioning with cabin filtration and rear-seat air vents, steering wheel-mounted cruise control, remote keyless entry with content theft-deterrent, heated power outside mirrors, power door locks and power windows, fog lamps and a ‘no charge’ sunroof – features not typically found in the economy segment –all for just $15,450.

“The Aveo offers choices and value that economy car buyers have never had before,” said Amrit Mehta, Marketing Manager for small cars at GM of Canada. “We contented and priced the Aveo sedan so many competitors simply can’t match its segment-exclusive features and price.”

Driving characteristics benefit from a variety of new features. Power is maximized across the rpm range through a variable geometry induction system. Standard electronic throttle control enhances drivability while reducing fuel consumption and emissions. A wide track results in agile and responsive handling which is enhanced by front MacPherson strut and rear semi-independent with torsion beam suspension. Vented front disc and rear drum brakes and stainless steel exhaust also come standard.

A sporty RS Special Edition package is also available, which adds even more content (available on both LS and LT models) including 15-inch aluminum wheels, trunk mounted spoiler, 6-speaker premium sound system, steering wheel mounted audio controls and an Apple iPod™. The RS Special Edition package is available as a free-flow option on both models at $1,095.

With highway fuel consumption of just 5.9 L/100 km, the 2007 Aveo sedan joins GM of Canada’s leading fleet of fuel efficient vehicles that get better than 7L/100km or 40MPG highway driving.

Headquartered in Oshawa Ontario, General Motors of Canada employs more than 20,000 people nationwide. GM of Canada manufactures a variety of vehicles, engines, transmissions and other components, and markets the full range of General Motors' vehicles and related services through over 785 dealerships and retailers across Canada. Vehicles sold through this network include Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, GMC, Cadillac, Hummer, Saturn and Saab.
