The new Pontiac Wave

I was at media day at the Canadian International autoshow today and I snapped a few pics of the new restyled Pontiac Wave.

I really like the look of the front end.

I couldnt get any more/better pics as it was behind the scenes of the GM booth.

AS for the new Aveo. I must say after seeing it in person, pictures dont really do it justice, after seeing it in person I have decided I like it.

No GM didnt give out any press kits. and they didnt say much in the way of specs for the vehicles. They spent most of the time boasting about their fuel efficiency. Then when I notice that noone was at the Audi area I went over there and sat in an R8 for about half an hour.

Funnything is, I didnt notice the ECOTec until you posted about it

lol, i think theyre reliable motors.....apparantly here in the states we're gonna get a different looking motor (even though it says its coming with an ecotec with variable valve timing)

This is the motor we are supposedly getting....107 hp, not much better than the tiny motor we have now....heres the rest of the article from the LA auto show

I thought the consensus was that it'd be getting the 1.8l ecotec from the astra?

FWIW, front aveo grille is in line with the chevy look aka Malibu front end.

I think it looks way better than the current gen. More aggressive lines. The one we have now looks wimpy.
