Don't get too excited/disappointed, but is this the...
new Pontiac GTO? This in only a rendering, and there has been no announcement that Pontiac is bringing the car back in any shape or form.
Does it look like the now zombie Aztek found a Cadillac and stole its eyes in order to look like a true Frankenstein? Or would this thing sell faster than GM could manufacture them? |

That makes me thankful that Pontiac was killed-off. The world dodged that bullet.

GM should have killed Buick instead of Pontiac.

GM would have to bring the Pontiac brand back & convince hundreds of dealers to invest millions so Pontiac would have a dealer network again. Never going to happen.
And it's ugly. |

My first car was a '60 vette 283 power slide, power windoze.....
Lost it in a wreck, in '67, should have fixed it, but INsurance was not obtainable, so I jumped ship into Pontiacs, where I stayed for a few decades.... back into an '87 vette in '92 or so....then my '72 because it was the purrfect kitten for a hotrod..... the car above reminds me of an old Goat.....my last A body was a '70 Lemans sport convertible, that I made a hotrod out of......I even put direct port FI on it, still have the induction.....that car FLEW, 462 engine 400 auto 321 12 bolt posi rear.....disc brakes, quick steering, better wheels/tires, still have one of the spare wheels hanging around....550 ft lbs at idle, towed a boat and 4 adult size folks up a 10% grade for about 4 miles, about 7000+ lbs.....kids in back seat, the hear that MOAN and it was time to DUCK, 80 mph going in and 100 at top of hill..... Sadly the car was setting out in the drive just rusting away....so I sold it some 18 years ago..... |

Pontiac is gone for good. Holden experiment was a bad idea and a colossal failure.
Notice sales figure decline after 1968. http://www.andysautosport.com/learni...to_production/ |

That original image looks more like a photoshopped Camaro.

No way I'd touch one now though, parts were hard enough to get when the cars were new. Now that they're past the 10 year mark, GM doesn't have to carry any parts for them. |
