Pontiac also had the sunfire, sunbird, and solstice, because they really liked hot stuff, apparently.

We need Pontiac’s designs from the 60s/70s and their crazy concepts from the 80s/90s/2000s. Pontiac as a performance and slightly upmarket counterpart of chevy could have saved their asses from the yawn factory of sedans they’ve been bent on churning out for 20 years now if GM ever threw them a bone before canning the…
Last year I drove alone from California to Michigan in 3 days. That was a spiritual experience. This year I tried to do the same thing with my brother and this happened:
As a graphic designer, I’m equally puzzled by how they could possibly arrive at such ugly things and then say “yes, the public wants this.” Must be an echo chamber in those design offices.
These things look like they’d be awful at night. What’s worse, having glare from headlights cause a lens flare a mile wide, or having a screen that blinds you by trying to be bright enough to have discernible details (though if they were OLED, which they almost certainly aren’t, this wouldn’t be an issue)?
When I was 18 and working on getting my license, my dad was looking around on Craigslist for a car for me, not knowing what I liked or didn’t like. One day, he saw a car in full Pikachu livery and offered to get it for me, but I was hesitant because the only pikachu cars I knew of were new beetles, and I wasn’t super…
I know civilians don’t like having their knees capped that much, but I still object to the Camaro retaining its brick shape and tiny windows from the 5th generation.
More like Ford BLOWtor Company, am I right? #ZING
Firebird owner here, 90s GM also took great joy and effort to place sharp fasteners on the underside of the cowl, so if you wanna get to anything in the back, it’ll look like you had a fight with a garbage disposal. What’s worse, the v6 has a good 6 inches of clearance between the engine and radiator, so they really…
I think I'd make a special exception for the AMC Eagle, otherwise you're right.
I am taken by the art on that last one. I want that as a poster.
Very dynamic, too.
Yeah but they were still basically camrys in a weird luxury shell. 2nd and 3rd were definitely the highlights though.
I was enamored with these for so long, but what turned me off in the end is their supposedly hell-on-wheels suspensions that act up and are incredibly hard to get track-ready, and all that weight. I’m sure it’s the perfect GT car, but I’ve personally settled on the equally-overlooked mkII for my next car.
it’s actually aquafresh toothpaste, to help fight gum disease and strengthen tooth enamel. Those french engineers thought of everything.
I dunno, the ES prior to the current generation was pretty boring. The only thing saving the current generation is the divisive grille and sharp angles everywhere.
Neutral: PT cruiser, solara, sebring, 318ti, cr-z, sunfire, sc430, the later GM “fake” saabs, the 8th generation mercury cougar, third generation mercury capri, the 5th generation mustangs (because there are too many of them), AND the 6th generation monte carlo.
I’m gonna make a custom car someday. I’ll take an F-body chassis (for being dirt cheap and red), and I’ll pound out completely custom sheet metal, make a whole new interior, and probably slap something super weird under the hood, like a twin turbo 3800, just to harken back to its roots. I’d like an appearance…
Damning as this all is, although I’m somewhat ashamed to play this part in the discussion, I must ask: did this really affect the outcome of the election though?
