The Chevrolet Chevette is a front-engine, rear-drive subcompact manufactured and marketed by Chevrolet for model years 1976-1987 as a three-door or five-door hatchback. Introduced in September 1975, the Chevette superseded the Vega as Chevrolet's entry-level subcompact, and sold million units over 12 years.[1] The Chevette was the best-selling small car in the for model years 1979 and 1980. The Chevette employed General Motors' global T platform. Worldwide, GM manufactured and marketed more than 7 million[1] T-cars — rebadged variants using the T platform — including the Pontiac Acadian in Canada, Pontiac T1000/1000 in the United States (1981-1987), K-180 in Argentina, Vauxhall Chevette, Opel Kadett, Isuzu Gemini, Holden Gemini, and as a coupe utility (pickup), the Chevy 500. A T-car variant remained in production in South America through 1998. Introduced on a full-color nationwide campaign in 140-150 of the country's largest daily papers,[2] the New York Times said the "little American car holds its own with the foreigners."[3] Looking back on the Chevette in 2011, the same publication called the Chevette "haphazardly made, sparsely trimmed and underpowered."[4] Consumer Guide described the Chevette as “unimaginative to an extreme.”[5]
