GM kills the Pontiac G8 ST. Unofficially.

GM kills the Pontiac G8 ST. Unofficially.

It seems like this recent hope of reviving old brands has a limit. The Challenger, Camaro, and other retro-styled cars have made it through, but the El Camino apparently has not. The new Camino, in the form of the Pontiac G8 ST, caused a lot of eyebrows to be raised when it was first released. [...]

Pontiac To Be Second Volt?

Pontiac To Be Second Volt?

Well that’s interesting news. Why would GM want Pontiac to be second in line for the running gear the Chevy Volt will be built around?
This might be a smart move in a bunch of ways, but it does run in the opposite direction from Toyota, who took the Prius mechanicals and put them in an [...]

Awesome Pontiac G8 GT Commercial - Spyhunter

Awesome Pontiac G8 GT Commercial – Spyhunter

Very good move for Pontiac here. This commercial is for the new Pontiac G8, and it’s based off the 1980’s classic video game Spyhunter. The very market who Pontiac aims to sell these cars to grew up playing these games, and I think this will really strike a cord with us. This is honestly the [...]

Pontiac G8 GT SEMA Concept

Pontiac G8 GT SEMA Concept

With the 2008 Pontiac G8 sure to be a hit when it’s released early next year, Pontiac shows us the G8 GT SEMA Edition; even more of a head-turner than the standard G8. The bright orange paint isn’t for everybody, but it certainly gives it a unique appeal. The orange carries over inside, onto the [...]
