Miss Pontiac Already? The ASC Trans-Am Might Be Able to Help
2009-05-11 03:37:00 After the release of the new Camaro, many tuners and fabrication specialists were immediately engulfed in ways to make the new bow-tie faster and sleeker. High performance upgrades and body kits were being introduced almost hourly and in no time at all the aftermarket for the Camaro became very extensive. The most recent of these add-ons isn't actually an upgrade, but a full bodied transformation to the Camaro's counterpart, the Trans Am.
Ode to the greatest Pontiac Trans Am ever
2009-05-09 16:51:00 Yes, it's Smokey and the Bandit - a terrible film that... somehow actually worked out well. Burt Reynolds and long time pal Jerry Reed were at their peak. Gleason went over the top with a very politically-incorrect performance that finally tires the audience. And of course Sally Fields was a sweetheart. The film was extremely popular, and originally grossed approx. $66M dollars. The total gross has risen since then to over double that. Sequels Smokey and the Bandit 2 and 3 were so unbelievably terrible that we won't mention them here. Just remember the first and the best. Here's the original trailer:
Goodnight, Pontiac
2009-05-04 19:01:00 By now, you've all heard the news of Pontiac's death sentence, made official earlier this week. We've seen plenty of tributes to the best and worst Pontiacs, and all sorts of dining-room-table historians come out of the woodwork to explain the marque's downfall. Instead, we thought

Sections of particular interest to enthusiasts are highlighted in bold maroon: Point is to win, not just to survive Hummer, Saab, Saturn - "not expect" to build those products past 2009 Phase out Pontiac brand by "no later than 2010". "Painful" Brands work by "offense" not "defense" Key: how do we WIN with 4 core brands: strong engineering and marketing budgets. "Great products" Reduce dealers from 6246 (end of 2008) to 3605 by end of 2010 Brands, nameplates, expectations for the market drives the # of plants Powertrain, stamping, assembly: drop from 47 to 34 plants by 2010 - need to load plants the right way.

Taurus SHO vs. Falcon XR6T - Australians weigh in
2009-02-15 17:42:00 The current Australian Falcon has a long and beloved performance history, supports local preferences with a rear wheel drive (RWD) architecture, and all importantly - to the Australians - is home grown. The XR6T version (4 liter inline 6, with turbocharger) is the current high water mark of performance - even bettering the version of the same car equipped with the 5.4 liter DOHC V-8 (roughly similar to the SVT Cobra R 5.4 engine, although with some differences). The XR6T is an attractive and desirable car.... although somewhat dated by European standards. The current Falcon is a "top hat" update to the previous car, retaining a fairly old architecture and suspension. The new body shell and minor updates were conceived as a short-term and inexpensive fix, until a new RWD platform came to fruition around 2012 that would meet worldwide standards. The Falcon platform had been briefly considered for export but had too many technical issues for worl...

2001 Pontiac Grand Am Stalling - Answer
2009-01-30 04:23:00 I have had an issue with a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am Stalling when it idles down like at traffic lights. It would start right back up, but as soon as I let off the gas, it would go dead. I asked my Mechanic and he gave me the answer I was looking for--cheap and easy to fix! So if your 2001 or similar body style 4 cylinder Grand Am is Stalling at traffic lights, check this first!In the front of the engine there is a small Vacuum hose, remember I am no Mechanic. It is rubber and is behind a few small plugs, but directly in the front of the engine. The Vacuum hose gets dry rotted and allows air to escape and makes the gas mix too rich, this will also affect your fuel mileage. The best way to check is to start your car, push on the hose and see if your car tries to stall--BEING CAREFUL OF MOVING PARTS AND FANS! If you are like me and not a Mechanic, don't get too cute. But, to make a long story short, I paid $2.00 for the hose and hooked it up myself, so you know it wasn't too hard. Probl...

If the G8 does strike your fancy, but the badging is something you can't get over, JHP Vehicle Enhancements may have the perfect solution.

Chevy Aveo-based Pontiac G3 set for U.S. sales
2008-06-03 05:32:00 Chevy Aveo-based Pontiac G3 set for U.S. sales Pontiac may have been on its way to regaining the title of General Motors' performance division with the launch of the first-ever G8, but the brand will take two steps back by offering an all-new model for the 2009 model year — dubbed the G3 — that will be based on the Chevrolet Aveo. The EPA quietly approved the G3 for sale in the U.S., even surprising some Pontiac executives with the news over the Memorial Day holiday. The G3 is currently sold in Mexico and Canada, although it is marketed as the Wave in Canada. The move is intended to round out GM's Buick-Pontiac-GMC channel, but some dealers are worried the sub-compact will dilute Pontiac's performance image. The G3 will be powered by the same 1.6L powerplant found in the Chevy Aveo. Although some dealers are reluctant about the G3, it will give them an inexpensive and fuel-efficient model to slot below the Vibe. The G3 is EPA certified at 25/34 mpg c...

Holden Commodore set to go green; Pontiac G8, Chevrolet Camaro next?
2008-05-19 18:44:00 Holden Commodore set to go green; Pontiac G8, Chevrolet Camaro next? General Motors group vice president Nick Reilly was recently in Melbourne, Australia for Holden's quarterly strategy meeting and revealed some interesting possibilities for the future of the Holden Commodore — including diesel and hybrid powerplants. Reilly confirmed that Holden will release hybrid vehicles in the next "couple of years" and continued to say that the Commodore "could be one of the first hybrids you could see [in Australia from GM]. I would put a time frame on that of probably a couple of years,? according to Drive.com. Reilly also indicated that a diesel Commodore is on the way. ?We don?t yet have a diesel Commodore but that will come,? he says. Lastly, Reilly confirmed that a four-cylinder Commodore is being "looked at." As we have reported before (and even shown in spy photos), General Motors is readying a Buick Park Avenue — which is based on the Holde...

Pontiac considering G8 GXP coupe
2008-04-02 03:26:00 Pontiac considering G8 GXP coupe Pontiac's G8 line-up may just grow to include a high-performance coupe which bears the GXP go-fast moniker shared with the GXP sedan. This would include much of the same hardware, including the 402-horsepower Corvette-sourced V8 and six-speed manual transmission, and give Pontiac the firepower to compete with the Ford Mustang GT500KR and Dodge Challenger SRT8. GM is reported to be having an internal conflict on whether or not to build a G8 coupe, which would be based on the recent Holden Coupe 60 concept car shown off at Australia's Melbourne auto show earlier this year. If it gets the green light for production, the coupe would be available for sale within three years, according to Inside Line. Main reasons for not building a G8 coupe include the looming stiff CAFE standards, stringent emissions limits and ever increasing gas costs. A GM insider speaking to Inside Line indicated there is less than a 50 percent chance of the two... |
