Written by Jonny Lieberman
Which is why, however small, there's a tiny tear in our because of the news that General Motors is shuttering its Boxwood Road plant in Delaware. It makes sense: the bankrupt automaker has euthanized Pontiac and is looking to sell Saturn. Furthermore, sales of the cramped, near-trunkless...

2009 Pontiac Solstice GXP: Last Drive [Jalopnik Reviews]

06 Jul 2009 11:30:00 PDT

Written by Matt Hardigree
The Solstice GXP, despite its engine, is a car that should probably be driven slowly. It'll give you more time to enjoy what GM got right. The 2.0-liter turbocharged ECOTEC engine is wonderful. There's so almost no lag and, though short on cylinders, it delivers the power my right foot wants. Pl...

Written by Graverobber
Now, by 1988 Pontiac was over the notion that the Fiero was a commuter car, and had gotten around to fixing many of the things that were wrong with the little two-seater. The craptacular suspension of the previous years was replaced with a racing-honed version that finally had proper geome...

17 May 2009 16:00:00 PDT

Written by Murilee Martin
The Malaise Era was all about harsh limits on cars, but the Can-Am racing series was all about tossing limits straight into the nearest trash can. Why not name a dressed-up '77 Pontiac LeMans after the series? Once Motortown got through making with the tape stripes, spoilers, Trans Am shak...

The 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP is, finally, the ultimate Pontiac — and ultimately, the final Pontiac. But bad news is everywhere these days. Due to recent global events, Pontiac is dead, and the G8 GXP with it. And that, speaking strictly from my recent personal experience of driving the G8 GXP, is ju...

Used Vehicle Review: Chevrolet Equinox/Pontiac Torrent, 2005-2008

18 Feb 2009 21:07:39 PST

Differences between the Equinox and Torrent were largely cosmetic, like the Pontiac’s use of that brand’s corporate twin-kidney grille, and different taillights. The Torrent also got GM’s FE2 “Sport” suspension, which was tuned for a slightly firmer ...

Opinion: 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP, First Drive

20 Nov 2008 21:00:01 PST

Written by Wes Siler
If I were to tell you GM is the new BMW you’d probably laugh at me. But driving the 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP just a couple of months after the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V and Corvette ZR1, that’s exactly what I’m thinking. Equipped with a 6.3-liter, LS3 V8 making 415 HP and 415 lb-ft of torque, the G8 GXP isn’t ju...
