Back in June AutoEnergy went ahead and discussed the fuel economy of the Pontiac G3; contrasting it with the more efficient Toyota Yaris. At that point, the Pontiac G3 was just a Wave north of the border. Now General Motors has decided that the United States wants a "sporty" and fuel efficient hatchback?

Pontiac will supply the G3 and some people will be interested. For interest's sake, do remember the Pontiac G5, a Chevrolet Cobalt sibling that actually outperforms the G3 at the pump. Here's the photo gallery.
