Will you miss the Aveo and the Avalance/Escalade EXT?

Don't think I've ever seen one of these before? I thought they stopped making Galant's way before 2013, this is a damn good looking car for what it is. Would never buy one though.

The Aveo is still here, they just ditched the name for our market and call it the Sonic now. That car is still the Aveo in the rest of the world.

IMO the sonic is a good looking little car for its segment.

They are killing the Eclipse too? What am I gonna do with this highly explosive tank of nawwwwwsss now? I was saving for a lime green one with hideous graphics and a right floorboard that flies off when you nail it.

the Avalanche was a pretty nice rig, especially if you really didn't want the ride of a full-size truck but needed the utility. They rode really nice, had some nice lines (with the Z71 package) and were practical. The only issue I had with them was the price....for $50K you could have had as nice a full-size GM pickup as they make.

Everything else on that list won't be missed.

I agree, I thought the Avalanches (and Cadillac Escalade versions) were pretty cool trucks.

I liked the looks of the avalanche, but i just didnt find it practical. It cant carry as many people as a SUV, and cant haul as much stuff as a real truck. Yet it has the gas mileage of a truck and price tag of a SUV.
