History of the Pontiac Wave
The short-lived Pontiac Wave debuted in Canada in 2005. The sister car to the Chevrolet Aveo, this economical Pontiac was built in Korea by Daewoo Motors, based on their popular Kalos model. Launched a few years after General Motors took ownership of Daewoo, the Pontiac Wave was meant to challenge other subcompacts like the Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris. The sedan version of the Pontiac Wave was redesigned for the 2007 model year, while the hatchback, also known as the Pontiac Wave5, was updated in 2009. At this point, the car was renamed the Pontiac G3 Wave. The newly christened 2009 Pontiac G3 Wave was equipped with a slightly more efficient engine than the 2008 model.
2008 Pontiac Wave features and specs
The 2008 Pontiac Wave is equipped with a fuel-efficient 103-horsepower 1.6-litre engine, front-wheel drive and your choice of five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission.
