The 1964 Pontiac GTO created the American "muscle car" formula: take an everyday car and stuff the biggest engine possible under the hood. The company did it many times since, unfortunately it wasn't enough.![1977 Pontiac Trans Am]()
Featuring the famous "screaming chicken" paint job on the hood, the 1977 Pontiac Trans Am was good enough to turn a bootlegger into a hero in the film Smokey and the Bandit. The 1980 Trans Am Turbo couldn't save the crime that was Smokey and the Bandit II.![1982 Pontiac Trans Am]()
Even when it wasn't telling the driver what to do in the TV show "Knight Rider", the 1982 Pontiac Trans Am was making the world safe for chest hair and hair metal.![2001 Pontiac Aztek]()
You probably didn't know that the 2001 Aztek was the first "crossover" vehicle built by General Motors, ushering in the era of the truckvestite for the Detroit brand. That's probably because you remember it as the ugliest vehicle ever made.![2009 Pontiac G8 GXP]()
At least Pontiac gets to drive off into the sunset in style. Not only is the 2009 Pontiac G8 GXP one of the last new cars the company introduced, but it will go down in history as the most powerful, sporting a 415 horsepower V8 driving the rear wheels like a good old fashioned American muscle car should. Too bad it was built in Australia.Five Unforgettable Pontiacs
