Who Makes Pontiac Cars?
Pontiac was a sub-brand created by General Motors that filled the gap between its more affordable Chevrolet models and higher-end Buick, Cadillac and Oldsmobile cars. Initially the name of an individual model (the Pontiac 6 introduced in 1926), it became a brand in its own right in 1931.
Pontiac continued to produce a wide variety of models but when General Motors was restructured as a result of the 2008 financial crisis Pontiac was one of the brands that it closed down. Although GM still owns the name, Pontiac built its final car in 2010.
