The base Aveo starts at $12,120, including a $660 destination charge.

The Pontiac G3 is equipped with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 106 horsepower. It is mated to a five-speed manual transmission or an optional four-speed automatic transmission.
The EPA says a 2009 G3 equipped with a manual transmission returns 27 miles per gallon in city driving and 34 mpg on the highway. A 2009 G3 equipped with the automatic transmission returns 25 mpg in city driving and 34 mpg on the highway.
The G3 has standard air-conditioning, two side airbags and OnStar.
Inside Line says: Pontiac apparently decided to forgo a stripper version of the G3. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent
