Pontiac G3 Wave
This year, apart from a change in nomenclature, the smallest car in Pontiac's line-up has gone through a major overhaul. First, it is now powered by a new variable valve timing engine for better fuel-efficiency. Second, the hatchback version has a newly face-lifted body as well as an all new dashboard. Take note that it is now possible to get the G3 Wave with the OnStar communication system installed.
