Plus, from what I can see & guess; the extent of the "rebadging" seems to be very minimal (meaning minimal costs; low chance of taking a loss). A temperary thing for what...I don't know, but I'll agree I don't think Pontiac needs an Aveo. But there's a reason for everything, especially with Lutz at the Helm. Don't start whipping Pontiac again just yet...
They, GM, always have had Cavalier/Sunbird - Camaro/Firebird, they may struggle to break the old patterns, or do it better...

Maybe there are Pontiac diehards who need an Aveo/G3 for the mpg, while they drive their '68 GTO Judge..
