Avanti Motors Corporation built Camaro/Firebird-based Avantis from 2000 to 2003 and Mustang-based Avantis from 2004 thru 2007. The company was originally based in Villa Rica, Georgia and later relocated to Cancun, Mexico. They also introduced a new
Studebaker XUV and a version of the SVO Lister. The XUV became a newsworthy sensation when introduced at the 2003 Chicago Auto Show and when it returned to the 2004 show. Production of the Avanti dwindled then ended in early 2007.
