My Aveo Convertible Concept

[MetroAveo]

Aveos look alot like Metros to begin with. After all, the Aveo was a direct replacement for GM's Suzuki-built sub-compact.

why not do a cabriolet type back end where it still "appears" lie a hatchback?

come to think of it, i could probably craft a cabrio roof to one of these given the time.

Right, but the metro did not grow into the aveo. The aveo came from the lanos, the lanos came from the pontiac le mons. The similarities between the lanos and le mans are greater than the lanos and the aveo. Suspension setup is a LOT different in the aveo, so is the entire chassis and top half of the engine. I don't think many changes have been made in the block between the le mans and the aveo.

Al right! I'm glad someone is finally taking this drop-top idea seriously.

And yes, the Aveo and the Metro have absolutely nothing in common, I was just saying that the Aveo is basically what filled the gap in Chevy's lineup that the Metro left when it was eliminated.

wait... the Lanos came from a Pontiac LeMans?

i kinda like it too if they would round out the rear portion of the car

My idea for a convertible. Targa bar, tilted windshield about 3 degrees, toneau cover on back (sp?)

I appreciate the efforts taken by "MetroAveo" & "Cyber3d" to make an Aveo convertible! You both did a fantastic job!

i like the addition of a targa bar. is that for structural as well or looks?
