A few months ago a 1963 Pontiac Tempest Super Duty sold on eBay for an astounding $226,521. The car was missing the engine and transmission and had a fair amount of rust, but was still a piece of drag racing history.Now, you can own a piece of that history without having to shell out a small fortune for the real car. A model of that same 1963 Pontiac Tempest Super Duty signed by the original dri
2002 Pontiac Grand Prix Turning 40 with style. By Sam MosesOverview Pontiac Grand Prix is the extrovert in GM's mid-size family, a sinewy body in a sleeveless T-shirt, flaunting a style inspired by NASCAR. The Grand Prix name may refer to European road racing, but the Pontiac Grand Prix is as American as a hot dog at the speedway on Saturday night. Fortunately, the Grand Prix can back its st
In order to win $12 billion from the U.S. government's bailout plan, General Motors is looking into possibly cutting its Saturn, SAAB, and Pontiac brands. According to sources, selling or dropping brands would save the company the most money and reduce overlap needed in order to prevent future cash shortages.
General Motors' low-key presence at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show was highlighted on Tuesday by the announcement of some midyear changes to the 2009 Pontiac G6 lineup. They include the addition of a more fuel-efficient four-cylinder engine to the 2009 G6 coupe, as well as an under-$20,000 G6 sedan.Pontiac said its "2009.5 model" G6 will arrive in showrooms in January.A cheaper version of the 2009

For this year, GM's line of performance parts will be shown on the Solstice in coupe form for the first time when the Solstice GXP Coupe Concept is officially unveiled next week in La
One of the best parts about SEMA is getting to see the manufacturers build cars they might not otherwise. Take this G8 GXP Street Concept, for example. Sure, the 415-horsepower 6.2L V8 in the standard G8 GXP is plenty good enough, but why not stuff the new LSX454 crate engine from GM Performance Parts underneath the hood? The 7.4L V8 is good for a ZR1-matching 638 horsepower and 600 lb-ft torque,

Sometimes it seems the fates are conspiring against domestic automakers. Just as Pontiac introduces the G8 sedan, the kind of car GM has needed to come up with for ages, the economy goes all wobbly and gas prices spike. If people are thinking of buying new vehicles, they’re looking increasingly to small cars.
But if you want a car that’s fun to drive and will haul four or five full-size humans

If you like horsepower, speed and a usable back seat, the Pontiac G8 GT was a great deal with an MSRP of $29,995. In fact, Pontiac advertised the 2008 model as just such a bargain: "Most powerful car starting under $30K," which is riding the line pretty close.But the company will have to ditch that ad campaign with the 2009 model as prices for a G8 GT will now begin at $31,360, or some $1,365 mor

It’s unlikely that Pontiac, an Ottawa Indian chief, ever expected a GM division to be named after him, although he might have had good vibes about the red arrowhead that serves as its logo. He wouldn’t have known what a vibe was, but that’s okay, because he wouldn’t have known what a matrix was, either. In this case, a Toyota Matrix is the Pontiac Vibe’s progenitor and second-generation

For me the best Pontiac Trans Am has to be the models from the Mid-to-late 70’s, they just scream muscle and power and if purchasing one you just have to get one that comes in black. Although not as powerful as the 1969-1974, this model is still great and the reason for this is because [...]
Pontiac V10 for Spanish GTA – That’s Nonsense!Have you heard that the Formula 3 racing team GTA is developing the supercar?According to the initial information the car had to be equipped with a mid-mounted 700hp V10. Currently, however, it is said that the ten-cylinder powerplant of this vaporware supercar will produce approximately 800 hp. Furthermore it will be sourced from – can you imagine? – Pontiac.The idea that the General can produce a bespoke engine for the car that even does not exist is ridiculous itself. Add to this nonsense that the mythical powerplant would bear the arrowhead logo of Pontiac - that’s absolutely mad stuff!
When the original Pontiac Vibe hit dealer showrooms for the 2003 model year, it was a different kind of General Motors vehicle in just about every way.

The sport truck draws its strength from the same powerful 6.0L V-8 engine used in the G8 GT. It puts out 361 horsepower (270 kW) and 385 lb.-ft. (522 Nm) of torque. The combination of a six-speed automatic transmission and Active Fuel Management technology provides both car-like fuel economy and an unexpected 0-to-60 time of 5.4 seconds. While these performance numbers are respectable by sports car standards, the G8 sport truck offers flexibility unlike that of a sports car. A 73.9-inch (1878 mm) cargo bed has 42.7 cubic feet (1208 L) of cargo space and a durable composite bed liner. It also can carry a payload of more than 1,074 pounds (488 kg) and tow a 3,500-pound (1,600 kg) trailer.

Amid tough times for carmakers, the New York International Auto Show, offers a vision of a future flush with alternative-energy vehicles, downsized but hot concept cars, and a possible rebound for the U.S. auto industry.
First, the bad news. New car sales in 2008 will be the lowest since 1994, according to a forecast from J.D. Power and Associates. On the face of it, the sheer sales numbers seem impressive. Some 14.95 million vehicles are expected to be sold this year, 12.3 million of which be retail sales to consumers (the rest are to rental fleets). However, retails sales in 2007 hit 12.8 million units, and J.D. Power originally forecast a combined total of 15.7 million for this year.

There are those who associate the Chevrolet El Camino with mullets and denim jackets with giant Winger patches sewn onto the back and those who instead associate it with mullets and denim jackets with giant RATT patches. Just keep in mind that at one time all those things were cool.And then there are those (in the Northern Hemisphere, mostly at GM) who associate the Chevrolet El Camino with its still-kicking Australian descendant, the Holden Ute, and suspect that perhaps the Ute might succeed in the U.S. as the 2010 Pontiac G8 sport truck, which makes its debut at the New York auto show.That name will not stick. It’s a Pontiac G8, but a G8 what is still undecided, and the company will be taking suggestions from consumers. Starting March 15, go to Pontiac.com/namethiscar to submit your id
