I know the general feeling of how you guys and gals feel about the Aveo! GM made the decision not to rebadge it as a Pontiac G3. Thank God!!! Don't you think this rebadging is being over done?

I agree, brikag . . . rebadging has been "Beaten To Death" by all of the Automakers.
I don't understand the logic behind this one, though, as fuel-efficient cars are in huge demand (though the bigger Honda Civic does just as well).
Well this one is easy: The Daewoo thingy being rebadged as an Aveo is a rolling heap of crap. Fuel efficiency is only worth so much if your savings get eaten up by constant nickel-and-dime repair costs.

I realize it's a rolling heap of crap, but from a pure business perspective, why would they not want it to be sold when Pontiac dealers are sorely starved for fuel-efficient cars? It's not like their G5 is that much more reliable, you could hardly tarnish their reputation any more.

One, the G5 is a lot more reliable than the Aveo; two, Pontiac is not really known as their "efficiency" division -- not a lot of people are shopping a Pontiac dealer for fuel-efficiency. It doesn't fit well with the "excitement" marketing of the Pontiac division. That doesn't mean every Pontiac has to be a gas hog, but trying to wedge a conscientiously fuel-efficient car into that marketing environment is just not a good fit. If they can market fuel efficiency AND "excitement," great. But that's enough of a stretch as it is for the G5, it's outright laughable with an Aveo equivalent.

Aveo: typical unreliable German based design.................
I spoke too soon!!!! Pontiac's new slogan should be, "We Built Excitement"
