A vehicle with a depressing past and certain doomed future. This Chevrolet Venture wannabe has attempted to establish its own name…and pretty much fizzled out. A van is a van is a van. People want more style and pizzas for their money and the Montana definitely does not exude originality and is completely devoid of any style what-so-ever.

I attempted a search for Pontiac Parts using a very popular site and got inundated with millions of hits. How can that be? I just want a quick simple answer! Why must I endure the era of Search-Engine spammage. Yep, you guessed it. The Spam has leaped out of the Email Realm and into the search engines. How can we find the time to sort through all the results from our search engine fiasco. How will we survive?
The Pontiac division of General Motors produced the Pontiac Grand Am; originally, it was a mid-size car and later turned into a compact car. Production of the Pontiac Grand Am was cancelled in 1980, when the Pontiac 600 replaced it. The Grand Am was reintroduced in 1985, it replaced the Pontiac Phoenix. It became a compact car from 1995-2006. Now the Pontiac G6 has replaced it.
In this day and age, it is hard to believe there is a car you would want your friends to see you in for less than $30,000. The Pontiac Solstice is a beautifully designed, road-gripping sport convertible for thousands of dollars less than the competitors.
Do you want a car that is sporty, fun and flirty? Then the 2007 Pontiac Soltice has it all. The 2006 Pontiac Soltice is also still available. Both come in these hot colors: mysterious (black), Envious (dark green), Deep (dark blue), Sly (gray), Cool (silver), Aggressive (red), Mean (yellow) and Pure (white). The Pontiac Soltice is the vehicle that combines passion, emotion and desire with your thrill for the open road. The Pontiac Soltice is also available in the Pontiac Soltice GXP and the Pontiac Soltice Roadster. Which ever color or model you choose, the ride, comfort and style will have you hooked on this magnificent ride.
The 2006 Pontiac Vibe is a 4-door wagon that holds 5 passengers. It comes available in three trims ranging from base to AWD. The base has a standard 1.8 liter, 126hp engine that achieves 30mpg in the city, and 30mpg on the highway. The 5-speed manual transmission is standard but a 4-speed automatic transmission is optional. The AWD comes with a standard 1.8 liter, 118hp engine; fuel mileage is 26mpg in the city and 31mpg on the highway. The 2007 Pontiac Vibe is now available, which means you can get some good deals on the 2006 models and the used Pontiac Vibe.
First, the 2007 Pontiac G6 review. The G6 from Pontiac is an answer to the disappearance of the Grand Am. A refreshed look and smoother styling compliments the look and the Pontiac G6 performance is about what you’d expect from a compact sedan. And then the fun begins. Tearing away from the basic sedan are the pepped-up GT, GTP, a rev-happy coupe and sun-loving retractable hardtop which promise to hold their own on the competitive road.
The Pontiac Firebird Trans Am is one of the more popular muscle cars of its time. The 455 motor first appeared in 1971 as the 455-HO. In 1973-1974, a special version of the 455 called the SD-455 was an option. The 455 was one of the last high-performance muscle motors of the original muscle car generation. In 1975-1976 Pontiac Trans Am models the 400 engine was the only other option available.
The Pontiac Sunfire, born a few years before the Firebird’s ultimate demise, was Pontiac’s attempt to combine a family based compact with performance enthusiast styling. Looking back on Pontiac’s past accomplishments it would be easy to assume that the idea of the Sunfire would be an instant success; but the Sunfire never reached the popularity of its predecessors, the Firebird and Sunbird.
It has recently occurred to me that of all the car manufacturers out there; Pontiac is the maker of more performance vehicles than almost anyone. If you don’t believe me, then prepare to become a believer. To kick things off I think it is appropriate to begin with one of the greatest muscle cars to have ever hit the American streets back in 1967, the Pontiac Firebird.
The firebird has always been a midline affordable sports car with aggressive and breathtaking styling that would eventually make this car a legend in its time. Having ceased production in 2002, we can now only await what could possible be a comeback; that is if the all new retro Camaro, GTO, and Cuda achieve the success they are being hyped to.
Speaking of the GTO; this is one sweet ride if you don’t mind me saying. The overall looks are lacking somewhat as far as the retro styling of the original; but if raw, untamed horsepower offers bonus points in your book, then I think you just might be able to over look the styling for the fun you will be having behind the wheel.
Next on our list is Firebirds little brother, the Pontiac Sunfire. The Sunfire was Pontiac’s attempt to combine a family based compact with performance enthusiast styling. Unfortunately the Sunfire never successfully took off in the market and is now also gone with no chance of a revival in the future.
