Coupes seem to be somewhat resurgent lately, and the stupendously awesome Pontiac G8 GXP might be set to lose a pair of doors. While that would make it essentially a repeat of what came here as a revived GTO not too long ago, the name is not likely to return. The basic idea has been […]

The very cool 1964 Pontiac Banshee prototype is being auctioned off, again. Back in November of last year, the super-cool and svelte vehicle was put up on eBay with a Buy-It-Now price of $1.3 million. It didn’t sell, so it’s back up… with a cool $2 hundred-grand tacked onto the price.
Powered by Pontiac’s OHC straight-six […]

The forum for all things General-related has posted a directive addressed to all Buick and Pontiac dealers regarding an upcoming recall issued by NTHSA that affects […]

The G8 is the most important new model that Pontiac has had in many years, and it could in fact be a make-or-break car for the brand. For several years, GM has been planning to transition the “performance” brand to an all rear-wheel-drive lineup. However, new fuel economy regulations may kill those plans unless GM […]

Here’s a question: what builds excitement? For Pontiac, the General’s erstwhile “excitement” division, the answer hails from Oz. No, it’s not another attempt to rebadge a Holden Monaro with the lofty GTO moniker, it’s to rebadge a Commodore with some G-flava.
The Pontiac G8 has potential, both from an enthusiast perspective and as a means to […]

We’ve learned a multitude of things working the automotive beat on the ‘Net. Among them: the German press is great for rumors and GM will badge engineer damn near anything.

Since Buick, Pontiac and GMC dealers are in the process of consolidating their showrooms, many were likely hoping for a halo product that could draw customers into the showroom. Hey, wouldn’t a version of the upcoming Chevy Camaro badged as a Pontiac Trans Am revival do the trick? Maybe, but at the NADA conference this […]

After seeing a variety of reports cropping up this afternoon, we were finally able to get some hard information regarding a recall that’s affecting 313,000 passenger vehicles and crossovers from General Motors.
The recall involves a seal on the rear axle pinion that’s apparently prone to leaking, which has the possibility of locking the driven wheels […]

Since the G8 was unveiled at the Chicago Auto Show, there has been an air of optimism for the Pontiac brand. There’s good reason for the uptick in serotonin, too, as the G8 is a real live RWD sedan from the General. It doesn’t hurt that its 6.0L V8 can kick out 362 HP and […]

What’s the best way to ruin a classic muscle car? Just slap on some gaudy 22-inch chrome wheels and give it a colorful chameleon paint job. While we’d much rather have a pristine example in showroom condition, you have to admit this 1967 Pontiac GTO is… unique. After all, Samuel L. Jackson himself has been […]

With the Torrent dropped from Pontiac’s long-term plans as the brand returns its focus to performance-oriented cars, GM appears to already know how and where it’ll replace the small crossover. The answer was apparently unveiled back in November when GMC introduced the Terrain in Kuwait. Like the Saturn Vue, the GMC Terrain is essentially a […]

On the eve of what could be the revival of GM’s “Excitement” division, it comes to light that the new Pontiac G8 will make the trek from Down Under sans stick. For whatever reason, General Motors has decided to offer the G8 – one of its sportiest and most potentially enthusiast-pleasing models – with only […]
