Behold, friends, the 2009 Pontiac G3 Wave. Yes, that's an Aveo5 with Poncho nostrils, and it reeks of product strategy that's more 1989 than 2009. Why not just call it G3 Le Mans? You know, in honor of the last Daewoo-sourced trashback that helped turn that whole "We Build Excitement" thing into a punchline. By comparison, this makes the equally distressing Pontiac G5 look like a Corvette ZR1 on the cool meter -- and trust us, this is the only scenario in which you'll ever see those two models mentioned in the same sentence again.

They had not so good things to say... They ripped it... And they should... if they are comparing it to an Effin ZR1... Bottom line as I have said b4.. Pontiac as a ALL PERFORMANCE BRAND is absolutely impossible with CAFE breathing down their necks... For Every G3, Vibe and G5 there is a Solstice, G8, and G6.

I love performance as much as the next guy... but this idiotic infatuation that many here have that every car maker has to have a showroom full of cars that can hit 60 in 4secs shows a true lack of understanding business. Not to mention it would seem to indicate that U completely miss the fact that Pontiac actually has alternative cars out there.

So let me get this straight.. Pontiac.. because the market themselves as the "Excitement" division.. has to 100% completely adhere to only those types of cars??? I guess BMW being he "ultimate Driving Machines" makes U cringe when ever U step foot into a 328i?

Bottom line is that some people have it in their heads that Pontiac allowing the G3 to share a Lot with the GXPs... it will literally "SUCK the Performance " outta them. HOW STUPID... If U want a performance Pontiac.. buy a Solstice GXP, G6 GXP, or G8... Otherwise.. STFU.
