A Pontiac is a crappy car, only deigned to look good with one purpose in mind, to be slow as hell and shitty in performance.

A former car brand that everyone seems to think was ripping off Cadillac. Pontiac was the performance division, while Cadillac is the luxury division. In the '60s Pontiac was embarrassing Mustangs left and right. In the '70s the Firebird/Trans Am entered center stage and stayed there until 2003 when it was killed off. Pontiac made good cars until the 90s, when poor GM leadership began the killing of Pontiac. Forcing the brand to make cars and fill niches it was never meant to do. By the mid 2000s the brand was near death as GM management continued to strangle Pontiac with its piss poor decisions. In 2010 Pontiac finally died when GM was forced to kill off several brands by the US government in order to get a loan to bail themselves out of bankruptcy (also from terrible leadership). It's a shame, in 2008 and 09 Pontiac was getting ready to make a comeback, only to get cut off by GM. A company buys Camaros and rebuilds them as modern Trans Ams, in hopes of keeping at least that car's legacy alive. But extremely poor decisions like the Aztek were the fatal blow to Pontiac, who may have survived had management done better, and maybe Buick would have bit the dust instead.
Pontiac made good reliable cars. Mine just ticked over 200k miles and it still runs great. All these dumbasses complaining about their Pontiacs breaking, probably drove them like total retards.
Pontiac was never trying to copy Cadillac so that dumb PONTIAC joke doesn't make sense. Pontiac shared ideas with Camaro but Pontiac cars were generally higher powered than the Camaro.

Horrible car manufacturer, a wretched division of GM (Chevy, Buick, Caddie, GMC, Saturn and Daewoo/Opel/Holden also shares the same reputation as piles of hog shits, with the exceptions of Hummer and Saab). Avoid Pontiac at all costs; has engine/trasmission failure, glitches, fugly looking car with bad engineering, followed by liable warranty that may amaze you in your dreams. Drive the car and you will see how crappy the Ponties are. Especially with minivans and SUVS.
Owner #1: I bought my Pontiac Montana today! It is spacious, good and big.
Owner #2: I bought my G6/Gran Prix today! Cool looking sedan, and drives well.
Owner #3 (Former/non GM driver): You guys are fumbducks! Drive for a while and your car will get fucked up.
