I think, once a network of dealerships is established, and them having a good inventory of parts, Argo will have possible competition.
I own a Chevy Aveo,(actually, my 3rd). We bought 2 in '04, when the $2.00/gallon "scare" began. They are built by Daiwoo (sp?) I traded in one of the 04 models for an 08 for my wife. The reason for this statement is: GM dealers are sales & service approved due to the "bow tie" on the car. If you open the drivers door, you'll see a manufacture plate. Now, that being said, perhaps ODG, the maker of Argo, will do one of two things: 1. offer these machines thru dealers along side Argos or: 2. Lower their prices & compete for our business!?!

That's my 2 cents
