That doesn't count:

Pontiac G5 24/35
Pontiac Vibe (09) 26/32
Saturn Astra 24/30

Looks to me like GM also offers small, fuel efficient cars.

Yes "really"

only one on your list is SMALL - the aveo. And it is stodgy in style and gas mileage is poor for its small size (though in fairness it is a excellent buy for the money, and mechanically decent).


All the other cars you mention are mid-sized.

when I say small i mean SMALL: MINI, Fit, Yaris....................and even smaller (which are no longer offered by any maker here in the US - Geo Metro, Festiva) and the smaller car found in Europe.

$5 a gallon demands that truely small cars be offered here in the states.

Vibe and Cobolts are NOT small, and 28 mpg is not good enough. If there were I would have concidered buying one last fall when I bought my small car.

Me need more hatchbacks too - not sedans.
