I'm surprised that you chose to revive a month old thread that was just a repeat of news we had all known about for a while for your first post.

I mean, you seriously had to look for this thread... that's sad.

I've seen various Pontiacs in Canada that we never got in the US, like the Firefly (same as a Geo Metro) and the Tempest (same as a Corsica). And many others in the 60s.

Huh??? The Tempes t(GTO ring a bell?) was made in the states, unless you are talking about a later model.

Technically you're wrong because of the Cadillac XLR, but you are 100% correct nonetheless.

its probably just the grill that needs swapping. otherwise, i'm assuming that the whole front end can be swapped (much like the cavalier and sunfire front ends could be swapped between the two).

So if you shrank a Cobalt would you get an Aveo?

I just got a G5 [look at my post under member rides]. And The only difference exterior wise between it and the Cobalt is the front grill, rear bumper, taillights, and the wheels.
