The 2009 Pontiac G3 is the twin to the 2009 Chevrolet Aveo5 hatchback. The G3 costs approximately $2,000 more than the base Aveo5 because of the G3's higher level of standard equipment, but mechanically the cars are identical. The Pontiac G3 is a front-wheel-drive sub-compact that's available with a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. This was to be Pontiac's smallest car, and was for several months until General Motors decided to discontinue the Pontiac brand. The G3 will only be sold for one model year, 2009.
