The 2008 Pontiac Wave, a compact hatchback, was a rebadged version of the popular Chevrolet Aveo, designed to appeal to a younger and more budget-conscious audience. It arrived in the US market in 2004, replacing the Sunfire in Pontiac's lineup. The Wave inherited the Aveo's underpinnings, featuring a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine producing 103 horsepower and 108 lb-ft of torque. The engine was mated to a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission, driving the front wheels. This powertrain provided adequate performance for city driving and highway cruising, albeit with a somewhat sluggish acceleration. The Wave's compact dimensions and agile handling made it a nimble and easy-to-drive car in urban environments, with a surprisingly spacious interior considering its size.

The 2008 model year brought subtle updates to the Wave, including revised styling for the front grille, headlights, and taillights. The interior received minor adjustments with new seat fabrics and a slightly updated dashboard design. The Wave offered a standard features package that included power steering, air conditioning, and a CD player, while optional features included power windows, a sunroof, and an upgraded sound system. While not known for its luxurious amenities, the Wave provided a practical and affordable means of transportation with decent fuel economy. The car was appreciated for its value proposition, offering a reliable and reasonably priced entry-level car that served as a dependable daily driver for many owners. The Wave was discontinued in 2009, replaced by the Pontiac G3, a rebadged Chevrolet Sonic, but its legacy lives on as a testament to Pontiac's commitment to providing accessible and affordable compact vehicles.
