Looks like it's almost identical for the Aero. I was reading about 2 mph higher for each gear at 3,000 rpm; this might just be speedo calibration, or differences due to tire diameter. (225/45-17 Primacy vs 215/55-16 MXV4+)
Anyhow, here's what I saw on my speedometer (approximately) of my car at 3,000 rpm in each gear:
1 18 mph
2 33 mph
3 48 mph
4 65 mph
5 85 mph
based on that, max speeds for each gear (at redline) would be:
1 36 mph
2 66 mph
3 96 mph
4 130 mph
5 170 mph (governed to 155 mph actually)
But to be on the safe side when downshifting, it's probably better to use Jae's graph which shows lower mph at redline.
