I have no idea what GM is thinking with the Aveo (and now the G3 that I have never heard of before). It's a badge-engineered Daewoo Kalos. :thumbsdown: There's nothing conceptually wrong with a Daewoo, but the actual car is inferior. As mentioned above, the Cobalt is better in every way for barely any more money. What makes them think the Kalos will compete any better as a G3 than it does as an Aveo?

2009 Cobalt XFE: 25 city/30 combined/37 highway mpg -- MSRP $16,380
2009 Aveo: 27/30/34 -- $12,685
2009 G3: 27/30/34 -- $15,055
2009 G5: 25/29/35 -- $17,700

Ok, so the Aveo is actually significantly cheaper -- especially when you consider the deal you can get on a car that nobody wants. What added value do you get with the G3?

WTF, GM?

Well, you don't have to admit that you bought an Aveo ...
