Why not put different suspention in g3, bigger breaks, maybe 1.4l turbo engine so that it could be fun to drive. This way G3 would be way better then aveo and you can charge people more for it. Not just another crap like aveo that is just pure junk.
I mostly agree with you. A Pontiac G3 isn't the worst thing in the world but the fact that is is a simple rebadge of one of the worst cars on the market in any category is a REAL problem. I would happily drive a Fit (if it was made by GM) but I wouldn't touch a G3 or Aveo with a 10 ft pole. I actually think the G3 is the best looking of the 3 but under the skin it is nothing to write home about.
