anyone here going to buy the g3 when it comes out?

Highly doubtful.

Picked the Vibe over the Wave originally, can't imagine downgrading now. If I were to buy a mini-sub-compact commuter It'd be a Yaris. But I can't see that day coming anytime soon.

iv got a fiend who drives yaris hatchback...... sitting in the back seat is like sitting in someones trunk....

Because I've ridden in a trunk before and it gets hard to breath after awhile.That's one thing I've never considered in a vehicle purchase is back seat size. I lucked out with the Vibe because it's apparently nice and roomy. The back seats in most of my cars has been like a 4-seater crammed into a 2-seater (see sig).

Nope. 'Til Vibe death do us part. You're all stuck with me

Lucky us.

I don't intend to buy one but I just got a direct e-mail from Pontiac "introducing" me to the new G3. I only have $1000 or so left on the Vibe and really don't want a car payment for awhile.

I don't see what the advantage would be. Less cargo room. Less interior room. Probably harsher ride. Probably slower. Perhaps slightly better gas mileage? I'm already getting 36 mpg in the Vibe, I can't imagine the G3 getting much better. Does this thing have the center gauge pod? Because I will never buy a car with one of those.

We have a car lot that used to be a Chevy dealership and now it is a Pontiac. I was driving by the other day thinking to myself, "Now why in the world would they be putting the Aveo on the front row?" Then I came to my senses and remembered that it was the G3 at Pontiac, not an Aveo at Chevy.

A daewoo rebadged again to a pontiac...yeahhhhh I'd still stay away..

reviews of the aveo are just horrid. they said it sucks at just being a car and nothing else let along using it to get groceries or drive....Theres much better out there than that car...

But it's such a cute little car, it looks like a mini lil' first gen vizzle!

Chevy Aveo goes Ponti. No thanks, the new Aveo looks better than the G3

It's an Aveo. It's yet another sad cookie-cutter GM design. The Aveo is a poor excuse for a small car; it's not fuel efficent (the Vibe does better) it's not comfortable, and it's not 5 star crash rated.

I was just at a carshow here in rochester that had a g3. it was sad really. ive got pictures but im at work. ill upload later. and they had a beautiful g8 gt 6.2l.......... it made me happy
