I miss Pontiac. The only brand I really like from GM. Pontiac was really hot in the 80s, and became the 3rd best selling brand in the nation behind Chevy and Ford. If only the brand hadn't been mismanaged so badly by stupid executives.
@lawlmann you arent a real mechanic then. anyone would agree that Pontiac was decades better then honda. honda is, and always will be, part of the shit box economy cars in the world.
@lawlmann here we go with this argument again. you know where its going to end up? your going to get all butthurt because your honda blows, storm off, make some terrible comment, and make yourself look like shit. you were already proven wrong here, yet you continue to comment. i should have never responded to you in the first place seeing as you have a picture of 'time' magazine in your picture and you support marijuana. that explains everything.
@Lrules364 Lmao. But whos still making cars? Pontiac went under for a reason.. Poor Ole Nigger Thought its a Cadillac. Yup i support marijuana legalization.. I smoke it everyday at MY shop. Get a life. and stop liking Pos Cars. Kbye
@lawlmann nice cop out mr butthurt. why did Pontiac go under? hmm.....was it because GM decided to start selling buick in china? yes. how about deciding to kill Oldsmobile, even though it was their last hope for advancement? yes. guess where that got them? bankruptcy. and who do you think made GM kill off the brand as part of the restructuring act? the Osama Obama administration. they made great cars for over 84 years and were in top form, until GM went bankrupt.
@lawlmann and Pontiac has been around a hell of a lot longer than honda could ever hope to be. im so tired of you honda trash coming in here and talking about shit your clueless on. stick to smoking weed and making nothing of yourself. I'll take an 11 second Pontiac over a crankwalking jdm turd any day of the year. have fun in the slow lane.
@Lrules364 Tired of your stupid conspiracies. if Pontiac wasnt garbage and piling in junkyards maybe they would still be around. hondas been around for almost 60 years and they will be around long after pontiac went under. Your not crankwalking anything with that brokedown pos car.
@lawlmann i like how your talking shit about your own company. do some research dickhead. it might make you look like less of an ass the next time shit comes out of that pea brain of yours.
My dad had a 1986 Pontiac 6000 and it was a great car. He bought it and gave my baby sister his 1980 Pontiac Phoenix, You talk about a piece of crap! At 60K miles the tranny went-$750 in '86 dollars! Then the a/c went out-$800.00 for that. Then she wrecked it and the insurance company gave her $1,200.00. RIP Pontiac.
i grew up in this car!! i was in a car seat in this car (i was born in 88), it lasted to about 180k, it had a vapor locking problem in excessive heat other than that it was a good car
1984 2000 Subiird Turbo, what a piece of shit! 1980's American cars were such garbage. I wonder how many times those dopey turbos malfunctioned. That's why Japanese cars set the standard for quality in the 80's. American cars never caught up and now with Obama & his Unions owning GM, they will never produce real quality cars again, only those stupid "Green" go-carts to fight non-existent global warming. What a shame!
My first NEW car was an '84 Sunbird that I special ordered. Bare bones, 2 door, 1.8L, 5speed, brown with brown interior. The sticker price was about $6500. Great car.
yeah agree that 150hp is poor, the 2.0L turbo from the early sunbirds were 165hp, not high also but back then in those years gm was too cheap to put an intercooler in it. Just to have an intercooler would rise those number to at least 175hp and not to mention also there is just 7 - 9lbs of boost! Imagine with at least 15lbs and you have a car with 200hp. I own one and starting to do some mods on it to reach those impressive numbers and even more! Pontiac = driving excitment!!
I saw this ad on tv and heard it often on the radio when I lived in the States. It was one of my favorites back then...Very Good and Cathy Jingle!!! Thanks for posting. Hope you have more ads from that era...
I have 1984 J2000 STE 1.8l 5 speed convertible with 300,000 miles on it and it still is very reliable. It just now starting to feel tired but it still rides better than my Volvo
ta yeule cris de cave . jen ai un pontiac pis jconduit des cris de pimp negres t tout les soirs vien pas mfaire chier cris de laid de cave qui sait pas skoi la vrai vie tit con
Yes, Pontiac squeezed lots of performance out of the cars to make up for the lack in HP. My '85 T/A only has 195 or so HP from that small block V8, but the tuning and clutch, etc. is still stock today and it is as quick as my BMW 328IS !
Whoever wants to drive a foreign car has every right to do so. Take your ass to that country and free up a job here! Both parties will be happy!!!
