Chevrolet Captiva

Post by 09vGT »

I've been seeing a ton of Chevrolet Captivas. It looks identical to the Saturn Vue. I was reading on the internet that they are sold elsewhere in the world but not there; also said that they ARE sold as fleets in the USA.

Anyone else seeing any? I never really noticed them before.

My company has at least one used as a courier vehicle. I have noticed more on the road though. There are a bunch of used ones listed on cars.com, but a bit pricey. Low to mid $20K's. Think I'll pass.

Enjoy... Or most likely not. :lol: Like the Impala, it is a car that only rental companies care about.

I see these all over the place here as rentals. I saw one with a temporary tag on it the other day, I guess the first ones are coming back in from the fleets and making their way to auctions.

I never did care for this generation of Vue and so I wasn't heartbroken to see it go. Then it comes back. :?

The refreshed version in Chiadog's link above does look a lot better than the stale old Chevrolet Vue we have here now.

It's a Daewoo product just like the old Aveo.

If that's based on the most recent previous and dear departed Vue, I think that is an Opel product, not Daewoo.

Front view is much better than the profile view, imo. As mentioned, it resembles the Saturn Vue too much.
