Pontiac Car Models

Pontiac

Pontiac, a former division of General Motors established in 1926, was renowned for its performance-oriented vehicles and innovative design until its discontinuation in 2010. Named after the famous American Indian chief, Pontiac cars were synonymous with affordable performance, attracting a loyal following with models like the GTO, Firebird, and Trans Am. These vehicles epitomized the muscle car era of the 1960s and 1970s, with powerful engines and aggressive styling. Pontiac also made significant contributions to the development of sports sedans and coupes in the 1980s and 1990s, exemplified by models such as the Grand Prix and the Fiero. Despite its historical significance and contributions to American car culture, General Motors decided to phase out the Pontiac brand as part of its restructuring efforts during the financial crisis, leaving behind a legacy of innovation and performance.
