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 is one of the brands in the General Motors Family. Pontiac holds many of GM’s performance vehicles, including SUVs and sporty cars.

The Pontiac brand began in Pontiac, Michigan, in 1907. It started out as the “Oakland Car Company of Pontiac, Michigan.” It was founded by a man named Edward Murphy. In 1909, General Motors acquired Oakland. By 1926, Oakland produced its first Pontiac vehicle. The car was known as the “Chief of the Sixes,” named so for its six cylinder engine, and it debuted at the 1926 auto show. The car was so successful in terms of sales that the “Oakland” was dropped from the name, and from then on it was just Pontiac.

During the 1930s and 40s, you could find a variety of Pontiac cars, from wagons to coupes to sedans, in the low to mid price range. One of the more interesting things about the period was the “Silver Streak.” This was a set of chrome lines that ran from the length of the hood up to the base of the windshield.

In the 1950s, the Pontiac Bonneville appeared. This car was a hit, to be sure. In 1964, however, Pontiac made a huge impact with the release of the GTO option for its “Tempest” line. This included V8 engine, and was truly the first “muscle car.” Also during the 1960s, Pontiac released the Firebird as well as the Trans Am.

In the 1970s, Pontiac began to make smaller cars. Pontiac released the Fiero, a two-seater sports car, as well as the compact Ventura and the Phoenix. In the 1990s, Pontiac released new vehicles like the Montana minivan, as well as the Sunfire.

Pontiac continues this trend in the 21st Century with the introduction of the Pontiac Solstice and the Pontiac G8.

The Pontiac brand fits right in with the Buick brand in the dealership environment. On the one hand, you have Pontiac, which provides a sporty choice. The Buick brand provides the nearly luxury experience, and the two complement one another nicely.

Today, we still have plenty of GMC and Pontiac vehicles, as well as Buicks, right here at your Lankford Media area Pontiac dealer. Why not come on down and see what Pontiac has to offer you today?

In the past, automakers used to assign special designations to their models to indicate special performance features, such as “trail rated” to indicate off road performance. With the ever-increasing cost of gasoline, Pontiac has added a new designation: XFE.

Following European trends, where gas prices have been extremely high for quite some time, fuel efficiency is becoming increasing important to North Americans and is becoming synonymous with social responsibility. Hence the newly designed Pontiac G5 XFE, with greater fuel efficiency and lower environmental impact.

Quickly reacting to this new trend, Pontiac engineers went back to the drawing board to find minor tweaks that could improve fuel efficiency. Among the changes made were a recalibration of the G5’s engine, a change to the drive ratio, and switching over to low rolling-resistance tires. The overall effect was to increase the Pontiac G5 XFE’s fuel efficiency to 25 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway. This represents a 9% increase over the non-XFE model.

The tradeoff is that acceleration and handling may not be quite as good as previous models, but Pontiac is certain that their customers will be willing to make that tradeoff. No other automaker other than GM and their Pontiac division have talked about doing this in North America, although it is common practice in Europe. Says Stephanie Brinley, an employee of consultants Auto Pacific: “People were aware of the environment, but they didn’t change their buying behavior until fuel prices went up. Now they can buy a fuel-efficient model and say ‘I’m helping the environment,’ when they’re really motivated by the savings.”

Some observers point out that there may be a short shelf life for sub-brands such as the Pontiac G5 XFE. They claim that as more models are released with higher fuel efficiency numbers these numbers will be taken for granted by consumers. While vehicles with low fuel efficiency may be going the way of the dodo, Pontiac is certainly doing the right thing by drawing attention to their new brand.
