The 2008 Pontiac Torrent is a counterpart to the Chevy Equinox, but built on a theta platform. It was introduced at the 2005 Los Angeles Auto Show, but this crossover sport utility vehicle (whose predecessor was the Aztek) is now in its last year of production. From 2009, it will appear as the Terrain. For the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, a standalone edition, the Podium, will be made available exclusively in Canada.
For 2008 the electronic stability control system becomes standard across models. Other changes for the year include an electronic trailer sway control, which automatically detects trailer sway and maintains control by activating the stability system; an upgraded control panel with more than 20 features; and three new body colors. |
