2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP Review

The 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP is no ordinary Solstice – it’s packing a turbocharger under the hood, boosting power to a very respectable 260 horses.  Coupled with the Solstice GXP’s reasonable curb weight of under 3,000 lbs, this little roadster can move.  The quarter mile comes up in just 14.2 seconds – that’s real, honest-to-goodness sports car [...]

2007 Pontiac G6 Review

The 2007 Pontiac G6 is a pretty versatile vehicle for Pontiac. You have your choice of three body styles – coupe, sedan, or droptop. You also have your choice of 3 engines, a 169 HP four banger, a mid level V6, and a sweet 252 HP 3.6 liter V6. It’s hard to make a midsize [...]

2007 Pontiac G5 Review

The Pontiac G5 is a Chevy Cobalt clone…. badge engineering at it’s most crude level. Take a sub-par vehicle, stick a new badge and grille on it, and what to you expect? A sub-par vehicle. And that’s exactly what the G5 is – lousy gas mileage and all. 2007 Pontiac G5 Specs 148 HP 2.2 [...]

2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP Review

The 2007 Pontiac Solstice GXP is the souped of version of Pontiacs Miata killer – the Solstice. Instead of the 2.4 liter 4 banger, the GXP packs a smaller, 2.0 liter 4-pot, but this time, it has a turbo slapped on. That means the GXP is good for 260 horses – pretty decent considering the [...]

Grand Prix going to meet the Buick Rainier

So long Grand Prix – we’re going to miss you!  Yes, we’re going to miss your poor quality interior from the 80′s that never really got updated, and your ridiculously large rear end.  We’ll miss the various ugly side molding / groove designs that you’ve had over the years.  Most of all, we’ll miss driving [...]

2008 Pontiac G8

It’s now official, the Holden Commodore SS from Australia will debut as the Pontiac G8 this summer, probably in August of 2007.  Naturally, the good folks over at Pontiac had to replace the unoffending Holden grille with the embarrassingly ugly Pontiac family grill.  But we couldn’t expect anything less from our GM buddies, now could [...]

Holden Commodore SS = Pontiac G8

Pontiac now plans to import the GM Holden Commodore SS, and slap a Pontiac G8 badge on it. I think it’s a fantastic idea. The last time Pontiac snatched a car from down under and put a Pontiac emblem on it, it was a huge sales success. Wait, this just in. The last time this [...]
