| In Memoriam |
 The J-body.org family and community is profoundly saddened with the passing of one of the most respected, and dedicated members, USMC Cpl. Brian St. Germain, known by his handle; SAINT on forum.
During his time with us, Brian had been both a source of knowledge in regards to the J Platform, and a proverbial keel for discussions in our War Forum with his unflappable demeanor. He was very much always one of the few and the proud Marines, which was a source of great pride and accomplishment in his life. Above all, though, Brian was a good man, an excellent marine, and a dear friend to many. Brian was killed in the line of duty, in service to his country in Iraq on Sunday April 2nd, 2006.
The J-Body Community mourns and greatly misses SAINT's presence, and we all thank him for his dedication to his country, his Marines, and his family.
Cpl. Brian StGermain, USMC
1983-2006
Rest In Peace
Semper Fidelis

New 2009 Chevrolet Aveo5 is a Small Car With Large-Car Roominess
Posted by dave on November 14, 2007 @ 11:15 AM PST

LOS ANGELES – Proving that fuel solutions can be wrapped in bold, fun packages, Chevrolet unveiled the 2009 Aveo5 at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The redesigned challenger to the economy segment delivers exceptional, EPA-estimated fuel economy of 26 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway (with the standard five-speed manual transmission) – and is expected to be the lowest-priced car in America when it goes on sale in 2008.
The new ’09 Aveo5 reaffirms the brand’s value position and builds on it with features expected in larger, more expensive cars – such as standard OnStar and available XM Satellite Radio – as well as its signature “tall car” design that enables surprising passenger and cargo room. It is powered by a new, fuel-sipping, 1.6L DOHC engine with variable valve timing that produces more power (107 hp / 80 kW) and strong torque (106-lb.-ft. / 143 Nm) – and has been tuned for quieter performance.
