Just when you thought Pontiac was inching it's way back up to the top. They pull this shenanigan..... Pontiac G3 'Wave' is CAR? No like I said on Autoblog, it's TURD : The Ugly Rebadged Daewoo.

If You want to post here, you have to give it at least one compliment. the little POS needs it....

'Those wheels sure are are round'.............

 

[LT16SPEED]

That color sure is red....what a freakin joke. Torrent, you probably do not recall a crappy re-badged korean tin can from the past known as the LeMans (sick). The car was a total FAILURE using a grand name from Pontiac's past. This car here is somewhat the same...as in..FAIL.

The LeMans? That little Geo Metro looking trashback?

Yes....but it was not a Geo...it was Daewoo I believe. Total POS.

 

[Taglane]

I know, but it looked freakishly similar to a Geo. What was GM thinking? Back then- and right now? It should be called the G3 LeMans, because they already destroyed the nameplate.

Yeah, that would be fitting...SAD, but fitting!:BangHead:

well in pontiacs defense they do need a car to compete with other compacts....chevy gas aveo....this kinda looks like a aveo.

 

[Z28 Autobot]

I think GM should say they really dont know what they want to do with Pontiac...

 

[OverAnxious]

So it's a Pontiac Aveo, big deal. GM needed to get into this small car market and they did with the Chevy Aveo. Why not go the efficient route and take advantage of one of your partners who already have a car out instead of spending millions in R&D etc

This is a natural fit for GM. It will sell more cars and keep the company headed in the right direction

Hey, atleast it's better than the Vibe, which is a rebadged Toyota.

Atleast this thing is built by a GM-owned company.

EDIT: I wouldn't mind one if it has a decent engine in it, still much better than that **** Vibe.

That is not the same engine in the Aveo... unless they are using the Ecotec in '09. I don't think it's the same 2.2 found in the G5, rather the new 1.8 Ecotec (which I believe is also in the Astra).

 

[Luwinkle]

The 1.8L Astra ecotec sucks, bad MPG and very low power.
Cobalt 2.2L Ecotec would be much more awesome.

EDIT: It's the same engine as in the aveo:

The G3 is the Aveo with the ugly Pontiac front end treatment.

So maybe GM should Spend a Butt load of money That they dont have Developing a New Compact....Rather than Selling A rebadged Car that Will attract The money Conscience Populus RIGHT?

 

[OctaneZ28]

Not an exciting car, but very cheap to develop (obviously) and will make money.
ROI on this car is huge, just like the G5.

Neither the G5 or G3 were planned at the beginning of these cars' lives, but like I said, ROI is huge on them, so here they are.

Where have you been? This has been going on for some time now. :screwy:


What are some examples of how the partnerships with Asian automakers have put Pontiac in such a bad position?

Seems to be working out for the Chevy with the Aveo...

Apparently that is the way to go :rotflmao:
