[gallery link="file" ids="1955,1956,1957,1958"] Overview: This week we're looking at the 2007 Pontiac G6 – GT Convertible and although it isn't terrible on fuel usage I'm beginning to believe people just don't care all that much about the need for improvement. It would appear they have resigned themselves to the fact it will cost...

I've got one on order so we can see how it compares with this very lovely lady – the Solstice. The closest competition is the Mazda Miata MX5,...

[gallery link="file" ids="1938,1939,1940,1941,1942"] Overview: This week I tested the 2005 Pontiac G6, GT Sedan. I remember when mom owned a Pontiac way back when. In those days it was not politically incorrect to talk about Cowboys and Indians or Speedy Gonzalez, or Pepe Le Pew. Pontiac advertising used American Indians in their ads...

[gallery link="file" ids="1932,1933,1934,1935"] Overview: This week I drove the 2004 Pontiac GTO Coupe (Coo – Pay as they would pronounce in the 1940's).

[gallery link="file" ids="1916,1917"] Overview: This week I finally had the opportunity to test the 2001 Pontiac Montana Mini Van. Do you know the way to San Jose? How about Oregon? Well, that's where I took this top of the line family van. It was really comfortable and as good as they get...

[gallery link="file" ids="1902,1903,1904,1905"] Overview: This week I had the opportunity to drive a very different Pontiac - the new Aztek. It's based on the Montana minivan. Some folks think it's ugly, others say it's futuristic. In short, they either love or hate what Pontiac calls a Sport Recreation Vehicle (SRV). It's a...

[gallery link="file" ids="1897,1898,1899"] Overview: This 2000 Pontiac Sunfire GT Convertible is more of a mid range car and certainly at the higher end of its closest competitors noted below.
