Pontiac Firefly

The Pontiac Firefly was a small car that Pontiac offered in Canada and the Middle East from 1984 to 2001. It was a variant of the Suzuki Swift and the sister of the Chevrolet Sprint, and it succeeded the Pontiac Acadian. At first it was built only by Suzuki in Japan, and from 1990 it was also built at CAMI, the Canadian joint venture of General Motors and Suzuki. Until 1994 there was a single engine, a one litre three-cylinder that was also offered with a turbocharger from 1987 to 1991, and a 1.3 litre four-cylinder was added in 1995. From 1991 to 1994 the hatchback was joined by a convertible and a four-door sedan, both built in Japan. The car came in three generations, the third from 1995 on a longer platform. It was dropped in 2001 and only replaced in 2005 by the Pontiac Wave.
