Pontiac’s Enduring Dedication to Performance
November 24, 2008 by jcme · Leave a Comment
The 2009 Pontiac G6 will soon be one of the sharpest looking Pontiac cars around Springfield. Pontiac has been known for its stylish and high-performance cars for decades.
In particular, the Pontiac muscle cars of the 1960s and the early 1970s seemed to be something of a golden age of power and performance for Pontiac. Starting with the Pontiac Tempest in 1964, Pontiac’s cars were without a doubt fierce competitors.
The Tempest had Pontiac’s largest V8 engine. It’s suspension was heavy duty, and it had bucket seats. The Tempest was followed in 199 by the GTO. The GTO is probably, of all Pontiacs, the classic muscle car. GTO” stood for “Gran Turismo Omolgato,” a phrase that, loosely translated, suggests that the car is suitable both for racing as well as driving on the street.
After Ford released the Mustang, Pontiac responded with the Pontiac Firebird. The 1969 Firebird Trans Am is an especially rare vehicle, as less than 700 of them ever rolled off the assembly line.
As time went on, unleaded gasoline engines became standard and horsepower dropped. The age of muscle cars went into the history books. Yet, Pontiac charges on, continuing its dedication to style and performance.

Pontiac Vibe Wins Award
October 24, 2008 by jcme · Leave a Comment
The Pontiac Vibe is one of the best Pontiac cars at your Newton Square area dealer. Of all the various compact cars that Pontiac has produced over the last two decades, the Vibe is at the top of the heap. It combines a roomy interior, tremendous utility, a peppy powertrain, clean styling and it does it at a price that won’t damage your wallet.
Our neighbors to the North recognize the Vibe’s quality, as well. This month, the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada awarded the 2009 Pontiac Vibe with the distinction of being the “Best New Small Car over $18.000.”
This award didn’t come easily, either. The recognition comes as a result of evaluations of more than 50 new vehicles at the Test Fest, sponsored by the AJAC. The competition was judged by not just a small pannel of judges, but by 80 percent of Canada’s top auto jorunalists.
“The heart of Canada’s vehicle market is the highly competitive small car segment, so we are particularly excited about this award for the 2009 Pontiac Vibe which has seen a sales increase of over 30% this year,” said Marc Comeau, vice president of sales, service and marketing for GM of Canada. “The versatile new Vibe provides a combination of style, utility and excellent fuel efficiency that is clearly resonating with Canadian consumers.”
With volitile fuel prices stateside, you can’t do any better in the United States with the Vibe, either. That same combination of style, utility and fuel efficiency is just as important in Newton Square as it is up North.
