That will work for me.

That is lots of power but bad gas mileage.

Clarke insisted the widely speculated Chevrolet Spark, an A-class size that is smaller than the Aveo and Cruze, will not be made at the plant.

So nothing new, Just moving production from Korea to the US for the Aveo/G3 - Since the Pontiac nameplate is gone I assume the G3 will be gone as well.

Not exactly,it will be an all new model based on the new Aveo but upgraded for the American market called the Viva.

I just read a disclaimer in the Envoy's manual

"...22% or more of this vehicle was made in Mexico..."

So much for a "domestic" vehicle.

The Pontiac G8 is actually just a rebadged BMW with fake hood vents!

Ahh... American cars built in the USA from parts from different countries.

P.S. The G3 and the Aveo look somewhat like a Fit to me

The G8 is not a BMW
