	Encyclopedia: Pontiac Grand Prix
		Pontiac is a marque of automobile produced by General Motors and sold in the United States, Canada and Mexico from 1926 to the present.

	Pontiac Bonneville - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bonneville remained Pontiac's costliest and most luxurious model throughout the 60's and was instrumental in pushing PMD to 3rd place in sales from '62 through '70.
		From '71 to '76, the Bonneville was de-emphasized somewhat as Pontiac used the Grand Ville name for its highest-price model, but Bonneville never went away and re-emerged in the top spot when the lineup was downsized in '77.
		The smaller Pontiac G8 (intended as a replacement for the Grand Prix) will absorb the rest of the Bonneville's customer base.

		Pontiac said imprudent allocation to dealerships was a bigger factor in the slow start.
		Pontiac overloaded its inventory in the U.S. north-central region, allocating 40 percent of the rear-wheel-drive GTO's initial production to those states in the middle of winter, when the handling problems of rear-drive vehicles in snow are most apparent.
		Pontiac hopes to position the GTO as its version of the Chevrolet Corvette - an aspirational vehicle that is the "soul of the brand," says Pontiac spokesman Jim Hopson.

		Pontiac plans to take the Solstice racing with factory race models to help keep the Solstice head above water.How this will affect the Sky sales I dont know,but Im hoping GM will do more with the Sky in the ad dept then they did with the Solstice.
		GM has said that Pontiac, Buick, and GMC will be more aligned, and certain vehicles will be dropped/added as needed to streamline their lineups.
		If Pontiac does get a version of the Cobalt, I think it should be called the G4 or they'll look stupid for having the G6 name and nothing else like it in names; the problems with G4 would be the videogame channel on TV copyrights.

		The G8 summit is scheduled to be held in Scotland this year from July 6-8.

		What the G8 does or what we as individuals do in conserving and recycling and otherwise looking after the environment are about to be made totally insignificant by the industrial giant of China.

		The Pontiac LeMans was an intermediate-sized automobile offered by the Pontiac division of General Motors from 1963 to 1981, after which it was renamed the Pontiac Bonneville for the 1982 model year as part of the division's downsizing after the fuel crises of the 1970s.
		The Pontiac Parisienne was a full-size rear-wheel-drive vehicle that was introuduced on General Motors' B-body in 1977.
		For many years the Catalina was the high volume series for Pontiac and in the '60s was often considered a performance car when properly equipped; as was the custom at Pontiac- nearly every engine & drivetrain combination was available on all model lines.

	GTO Forum - Pontiac Bonneville's future uncertain as audience wanes
		If Pontiac goes that route, it's also possible the next-generation Prix and Bonneville successor would switch from front-wheel drive to rear- or all-wheel-drive.
		By doing so, Pontiac would cut out the time it takes between producing the GTO at GM's Holden subsidiary in Australia and shipping it to the United States.
		GTO is a derivative of the Holden Monaro.

	Cadillac Owners - GM's Plan To Save Pontiac And Buick
		For example, U.S. Pontiac dealers are not getting a new small car to replace the Sunfire, nor am I aware of a big sedan in the works to replace the Bonneville when it is discontinued.
		Pontiac and Buick can be saved, but I'm not enthusiastic about one part of GM's new plan, which is to combine Pontiac, Buick and GMC dealerships.
		I'd make Pontiac the tuner division of Chevy or better yet, the American Holden with attitude, and Buick would be the conservative entry level luxury common mans division of Chevy.

		Although the Velite is expected to be built in Michigan at the same factory as the Pontiac and Chevy models, a rear-drive Buick luxury sedan is expected to be imported from Holden in Australia.

	Grand Prix G8 "This Grand Prix Rock's" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		It wasn't the one with the biggest crowds, or the flashiest paint job, but the G8 was certainly one of GM's most intriguing concepts.
		Of course, Pontiac doesn't have crates full of 19-inch wheels and cross-drilled rotors laying around the engineering center, but they do have plenty of power-packed V8s and the Versatrak all-wheel-drive system at their disposal.
		Throw in a T-56 six-speed tranny from the soon to be departed Firebird and Pontiac would have the hottest sport coupe on the market this side of an M3.

		The GTO was set to carry styling cues from the 1999 Pontiac GTO concept, just in a slightly "toned down" fashion.
		Pontiac would be left with a Toyota, the boring G6 and the G8.
		This is why Pontiac needs a G4 or other form of Delta-overlap or not it would still give needed volume to Pontiac that no GTO, Firebird, Solstice, or Montana SV6 (done the way it is) could sustain.

	The Car Connection - 2005 Pontiac G6 GT - Less Happy Meal, more Wendy’s.
		Pontiac is finally living up to its sport-themed image with actual hardware - not just overly baroque body-cladding and a surplus of fake hood scoops, both of which are, thankfully, nowhere to be seen on the cleanly-styled G6.
		But if you're looking to burn some rubber, wait a couple of months until spring 2005, when Pontiac will be releasing the high-performance GTP version of the G6.
		Pontiac has finally got something that'll whet your appetite, instead of just filling you up.

		First and foremost, the Pontiac Solstice will mark the only new platform introduction for ‘06 (the Sky won’t be along until MY2007).
		Pontiac has stated that the car will return in 2008 (so likely as a ‘09 model) and will be based on a new “global” RWD platform.
		According to Pontiac spokesman Jim Hopson, “We have every intention of getting it on the street as soon as possible”, which translated means “right after we finish up a bunch of new SUVs and a niche-market roadster.” Expect a new Chevrolet Camaro to launch at the same time.

		I'd hoped the Pontiac G8 would be priced to fight the Dodge Charger, but since a loaded G6 GT costs about as much as the Charger with Hemi is expected to be, somehow I don't see this happening.
		It would be cool if Pontiac offered a stripped GTP for about $24k, but we all know that will never happen.
		The Pontiac Zeta sedan will be probably about the size of a GP, but offer way more driving dynamic and give us a poor-mans 5 series.

		If that isn't a case to axe Pontiac, I don't know what is. Hell, if GM hadn't given Pontiac the G6 (and upcoming variations), I'd say they were planning it like some people say they planned to axe Olds.
		Pontiac's advantage is that they have an extensive model line-up.
		Pontiac (excepting Solstice), Buick, and GMC are essentially cloned products from other divisions, so there's not much loss in the way of product.

		The Versatrak system provides greater stability when cornering in the wet, but the Grand Prix G8 is too low and the tires are too wide to be of any use in winter or off-road conditions.
