Pontiac is back?
I just ran across this story in the current Car&Driver mag. It's like a 2 page ad. Is it true? Would GM allow someone else to use the trade mark in the story? Did GM release this teaser? It sounds like the time is right. Did GM put this out to gather consumer feedback? Watch the vid and let us know what you think about the possibility and or what you know about it.

Re: Pontiac is back?
A Bandit Trans Am Would look good running down the road.

Re: Pontiac is back?
Inside back cover of May/June 2024 Car and Driver magazine has the full page ad shown in that video.
Printed at the bottom of the page is "DISCLAIMER: Do you need to be told that this advertisement is fake and not to be taken seriously? Our lawyers think you do." So it makes you wonder if it is fake, or a clever teaser? Or something else? Sure would be interesting if they actually brought it back.

Re: Pontiac is back?
The guy even said so in the vid but there is the question who wrote it, who paid for it and why was it done?

Re: Pontiac is back?
The funniest part of the Video to me
He mentioned a In-Line 6 Cylinder and I am not going to {Quote } him on it . He mentioned a In-line six cylinder (Remembering) the 6 Barrel Carb. I am sure there is a Comment about 3 Deuce's in the Comments.

Re: Pontiac is back?
Yes it would but would it be electric?
According to the vid it is the perfect time for GM to bring Pontiac back since the last Camaro was built the first of this year, Dodge Challenger is gone. There will only be a Charger in 2 or 4 door with a straight 6 engine, no more V8s. GM can't let Ford and Dodge own the performance car market. Don't even say well GM has the Vette as it has moved on to world class supercar status.

I will go OFF topic then right back on. I saved my Nephews (Ar se) He drove a ATV in the Creek /with all the rain we had. It took 7 Oil changes to flush the water out. The Ev we rode in to get all the oil and filter wrench and Stuff was Neet and different. I turned the Air conditioning fan up and the car started Accommodating for it. I thought (Heck) if you run the AC on this? are We going to have to walk the last few miles home?? Back on Subject. This sounds like a Great strategy for GM. They still got the Olds 442 under there belt if they want to play that card.

Re: Pontiac is back?
You see the disclaimer at the bottom of the ad?
Was Car & Driver just having a laugh at April Fools time, on their dime? Would be a cruel joke aimed at die hard Pontiac fans for sure.

Re: Pontiac is back?
TransAmWorld in Florida built modern Trans Ams based on the Camaro. Now that the Camaro is dead, it will be interesting to see what they come up with.

Re: Pontiac is back?
As one might expect.
The "alleged author" - Diego Rosencrantz - is a member of the forum. He also does the announcing for the Pure Stock drags in September, so he is well known. K
