Vancouver International Auto Show: Pontiac

As evident here at the Vancouver International Auto Show, General Motors has been using its international ventures to better business in North America. Although built alongside the Chevrolet Aveo and Pontiac Swift by GM Daewoo in South Korea, the Pontiac Wave has been sold here as a Canada-specific model since 2005. And, like the new Aveo5, the 2009 Pontiac Wave5 has received a significant make-over. The 2009 Wave5 uses a 1.6-litre four cylinder DOHC engine that betters fuel consumption by 8 percent while producing more power: 107 horsepower and 106 lb.-ft. of torque. This forward energy is routed to the front wheels via a five speed manual or four speed automatic transmission. Front and side airbags are standard, as is an auxiliary audio input jack (MP3-playing capability by the CD player is optional).
