The three GM cars were absolute junk. But what do you expect when semi-literate union thugs and goons build them? To hell with the UAW.

I dumped it at 60K for a Honda Accord. I love my Honda. Don't waste your time on a new Pontiac if they still exist in the future. I had nothing but electrical problems, power steering went, tint bubbled, and the alarm never worked correctly. The only right thing to do is put them out of there misery.

Read a book, its general motors, i have a 1997 pontiac grand prix currently sitting in my driveway, Although it does not run right now, it has probably been the most dependable car i owned, until about 3 weeks ago. i do believe it was a mistake with a recall GM has released with the lower intake manifold gasket, but only time and a couple hundred will tell. Sorry to see you go pontiac, forever missed to all you knuckleheads calling the pontiac brand under chevrolet.

Nothing will ever match the scream of a 389 with all three two barrells open at about 6000 rpm in 3rd gear. What a car. Wished GM had dumped the Buick and reintroduced the 65 GTO.

I had a Grand Prix for about 6 months, broke down all the time and hated it, got the Camry and kept it for 3 years, ran like a dream. No wonder Nascar didn't want the Camry in their races since them seem to be doing better than expected...lol Sorry Pontiac, if you had built a better car, you would be worth saving.
