Why Pontiac Cars Will Live On

Even while Eric Clapton planned on 'Living on Tulsa time' he made sure he left Oklahoma in a Pontiac. Yes, a Pontiac has been the favorite of many motoring enthusiasts for decades. From classics like the GTO to the modern line up of the G8 and Solstice Coupe, Pontiac and General Motors have always had a huge fan following. A sampling of the cars featured on the web will give you an idea of why Pontiacs are popular. The company also offers some of the best deals on all its models including the G8, G6, Torrent, and Solstice.

Ask any Pontiac owner and he will tell you about the financial benefits of purchasing a Pontiac. Collectors, of course, are always nostalgic about their Pontiac collection. They demand an instant premium and will continue to do so for a long time. The American Indian red arrowhead design still proudly holds firm in the center of the hood on every Pontiac. Everyone has realized that Pontiac cars will always fetch a good price even a decade hence. The few to roll off the assembly lines towards the end of production, as General Motors plans to phase out the models by the end of 2010, will probably fetch the best price. Budget permitting, this could be one of the best financial investments you could ever make.

Sales have already picked up even though the end of production draws near. Dealers will soon be making their moves to sell at their best price possible. Already there is a growing number of motorists who feel that Pontiac should be continued even if it meant being manufactured and sold from GM operations in Australia and South Korea. Speaking of dealers, a group of dealers has already shown interest in purchasing Pontiac from GM, however, the bosses at GM have shown their disinterest in any offers. In fact, GM is adamant that Pontiac will not be sold, as they prefer to shut down the iconic brand. Probably the motive behind it is to preserve the history of their bevy of beauties. These cars have been as valuable an asset to the company as they are to their owners.

The Pontiac Grand Am has always been the pride of American motorist. The original 1973 monster evolved with time, with a complete redesign in the late 1990s. A 3.4 liter V6 engine was introduced for extra power, while fully independent suspension provided for excellent road handling and comfort. 2005 saw the end of production of the Grand Am which gave way to the sleek, G6 coupe. While it lasted, Grand Am models were known for their reliability, comfort, and above all, comfortable motoring.

The Pontiac GTO is a true legend among muscle cars that withstood the fiercest of competition from Ford and Chrysler. The fast sale of GTOs came as a surprise to the company who scrambled to restyle the GTO with a V8 engine, special hydraulic lifters, heavy duty suspension, and more. Many still wonder why the company is intent on ending the reign of the most successful line up in its history.
