Canada'* import for other countries (even the U.*.A.)
Whoo hoo Pontiac Canada has come out with a new car for 2007 that is under $15, 000 and is only available in Canada. All others will have to get it imported. It'* called the Pontiac Wave and for a cheap car it looks pretty cool on the inside. The twin to this car is the Aveo but only the rear ends look similar.

Supposed to hold it in a certain gear or something like that, saw it on tv they didn't really get into much detail about it, the guy on tv said the 5 speed manual was more fun

Hold Mode
