The 2009 Pontiac G5 is the latest in what is called “badge engineering.” Rather than develop a new vehicle for Pontiac, GM took a Chevy Cobalt, slapped Pontiac logos on it (with the exception of some detailing), and called it the G5. Edmunds adds its two cents about the badge...

Other Choices:

The 2009 Pontiac G5 is a near-twin of the Chevrolet Cobalt coupe, but lacks the Chevy's optional SS trim with its turbocharged four-cylinder. The Honda Civic is the most sophisticated in this class. Its four-cylinder engines are flexible and rev freely, the manual transmission is a pleasure to shift, and its interior quality is top notch. The Ford Focus coupe isn’t pretty but has plenty of features, including the new SYNC entertainment controller. The Scion tC is reasonably handsome, with a rev-happy four-cylinder engine and a much more visually satisfying interior, but it's also quite cramped.

    Good commuter car- traded in an 03 Sunfire and not sorry. At $12k, 30 plus mpg- I won't complain.
    I see too many newer import cars here in the rust belt doing just that-rotting out- because of cheap foreign steel. Expect my G5 to hold up as well as my Sunfire did in that regard. Spotless.
