The Pontiac Torrent is a SUV built by the Pontiac division of General Motors and replaced the
Aztek as the company's SUV in 2006. It shares the GM Theta platform with the Chevrolet Equinox and Saturn VUE. The Torrent was introduced at the 2005 Los Angeles Auto Show and went on sale in late summer 2005.
The Torrent shares its basic body structure and mechanicals with the Equinox; however, the Torrent has a different front and rear end which makes it appear like a Pontiac rather than a Chevy. The suspension was also modified to be firmer and sportier and was dubbed FE2. Finally, the electronic power steering was also recalibrated to deliver a firmer, less artificial feel. The Torrent shares the Equinox's 3.4L 3400 V6 rated at 185 hp. It is mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission.
The Pontiac Torrent was featured in Survivor in 2005 as one of the prizes.[ Visit the complete Wikipedia entry for Pontiac Torrent ]
