Aveo SS, or Chevy's attempt to attract young buyers

Aveo Xtreme

Malibu Xtreme

By the way that Malibu Interior looks pretty decent.

Colorado Xtreme

Well besides the color I think the Malibu Xtreme looks nice and does anyone else think the Aveo Xtreme resebles older an Clio 6 concept?

I was hoping the Colorado Xtreme would be more low-slung like the S10 Xtreme is now. Maybe I'll be able to pick up the S10 cheaper if they bring the Colorado Xtreme out

Good, I hope they offer those models. The S10 Xteme seemed to have been a nice success.

More Xteme shots

Colorado and Malibu Xtreme. I never thought a Malibu could look that good. Keep that same car, add in a blown 275hp 3.5L, and it'd be a worthy Malibu SS.

Avio Xtreme.

I really don’t have a taste for rice, but the cars look well done for what they are going for. I say go for it,
more sales=more money=new Camaro.

The Malibu looks alot like a rally car (besides the color). It reminds me of an STi. It's a far stretch, but maybe it could end up being Chevy's counterpart to Saturns rally car we saw earlier. But I'm dreaming.

Maybe Xtreme will be a Midrange Camaro?

Lots of flash and a 20HP boost over the base V6, it could work .

Hmm, very interesting, they look pretty good.
I think these cars woudl accomplish their goal pretty well.
IMO this would be a fantastic way to steal some sales back from the imports.

Those colors remind me of easter eggs.
