Wave and Vibe,

Post by mixer »

Are these the same? I see the Wave listed in parts catalogs but curious to what it looks like.I did a search and found out what the Wave looks like. I have never seen one of these before. I asked the Pontiac salesman about the Wave and he said it was more for the Canadian market.

The Wave is much smaller. It's the same car as the Chevy Aveo.

Those little Daewoos get around... They're sold as Chevies, Pontiacs, Suzukis, and Daewoos depending on where you're at in the world. We get just the Aveo, but up there in Canada, you get the Aveo, Wave, and Swift+ from what I gather.Mom's got an Aveo, it isn't a bad little car for what it is. Pretty reliable transportation on the cheap.

yep, we get the wave, both hatch and sedan, aswell as the aveo's and also the swift+...i've seen some daewoo's around here aswell..not sure where a daewoo dealership is..and as for the front end of that vibe dianebrat, im not to sure..im sure it's a concept one of some sort that probably isnt in production, i just found a nice pic of the vibe and that had to be it..it is a very sleek looking front end too, to bad they dont make them aftermarket, im sure alot from here would jump on it

Quote, originally posted by WaveAction »...thats what i said..it's a concept ha! yeah i know...i was emphasizing concept...because pontiac didn't come through for us!!!! hahaha. i'd love to have that ken-style spoiler. then i'd definitely get rid of the railsok back on topic.. GF was looking at the aveo a couple years ago because it was listed as the most inexpensive car in its class or something. yeah it was...because everything was options. no AC no radio...etc. by the time she priced it out, it was more than what she ended up getting... a nicely appointed scion xA

I love the way the GXP concept got rid of the molding on the doors. It looks so clean without it.
