Let’s get over it. Pontiac is not coming back. There is no business case to bring it back- none.

I don't think GM will ever bring back the Pontiac brand. Maybe bring out a GMC or Chevy called a Pontiac, but never the brand itself.

I watched. Thank you for sharing. It is interesting Chevrolet is getting rid of its cars and that leaves gaps in the GM lineup as if they do not have enough now. Ford is watching Chrysler and GM. Here comes a rabbit out of the hat trick really soon from Ford.

E V, aka Firebomb!

Simplest answer? Because an electric Dodge Charger is blasphemy. I'm actively looking at used, non-hooned Challenger/Chargers at the moment because I refuse to buy a new Charger on the principle that it removes the most important thing I'd buy the car for - its engine. Yes, you could say that they've evolved and their buyers should too - but not at the expense of preserving their legacy. If Dodge truly believed that the Electric Charger was a superior choice and worthy successor to the regular challenger, they could have just as easily allowed for reduced numbers of the original ICE versions of the car in its final iteration to continue selling alongside the next generation off electric Chargers. Instead, they elected to shoot themselves in the foot by assuming that they knew more than their customers did. The only way I'd consider buying any of the new 6 cylinder ICE Dodge Chargers is if I could send it directly from the showroom to an aftermarket shop to drop a crate engine to, the way God (and likely, the Dodge Brothers) would have wanted it.

You see the only reason I like current Corvette is because they won GTE class including Le Mans 24 hr .... Not because it looks like Ferrari. I don't like that comparison. Saying it looks like Ferrari makes it sound like a cheap Chinese made replica. There's nothing wrong with Chinese made replica but that's not the case because Chevy made a better car that beat Ferrari at its own game.. if you were to compare it you might say they made a better looking Ferrari thank you for your video

I live close to the Stellantis headquarters and they had about 10 of these chargers on the road today that I saw. Some of them were scat packs and RTS. Absolute trash absolute garbage

It’s ugly

If they really release the Bel air I’ll buy one day one other than that I’ll buy muscle cars instead of new shit boxes but I would buy the bel air if released

I am surprised that 18% of buyers would even consider one?

Because paying $60,000 every three to four years for a new battery is ridiculous. It's a $100,000 disposable Yugo. BTW, Stellantis has only one goal: DESTROY US AUTO BRANDS

It wont be long before they move evetything mopar to canada, mexico and beyond. ANYWHERE but USA. At that point I couldnt care less. I have slight care today. Slight

Thank you for the video. I would pick none of them. Not my segment are style. I am sure it is for other people. Dodge is in sad shape honestly because of Stellantis and their decision making. They took the life out of Charger and killed Challenger and expect people to pay that price? Reality check has not set in yet. It will sooner than everyone thinks.

There’s a reason this car is still sought after today and a staple in a lot of areas . Timeless

My dad had this car in black . You just unlocked some memories while enlightening me about the history

A bit late and a little dark, but it was neat seeing the cars driving with thier lights on.

My wedding party was 3 1969 Grand Prix’s. I had to sell mine when parking spots shrunk! Anyone who had a 2 door big car back then, knows how far you had to open that long door to get in and out.

Great video but some misinformation concerning the 1994 LQ1. It was still using batch firing as the previous 91-93 motors. The added benefit of the sequential port fuel injection over the previous multi-port system is how the extra HP was added along with some of the other changes mentioned. The B4U package was NOT standard on the SE coupe, the BYP package actually was. Starting at about 10:20 into the video, that's a BYP packaged SE and THAT package was standard. The previous coupe with the license plate AJ...that's the OPTIONAL B4U package.

Our Dog once went on top of the grand prix late at night and chewed the red leather part of the roof. So we drove around for a short time with a chewed up roof.

One thing to mention, the 89 Grand Prix Turbo coupe was the 2nd W body to get HUD as standard followed only by the Cutlass Supreme in 1988, (optional on coupes, standard in all 50 pre-production Pace Car convertibles). The only GP model to get HUD was the 89-90 TGP during these years, (again, standard on the TGP). Strangely enough, not even the STE Turbo could be ordered with HUD even though mechanically, it was almost identical to it's Turbo coupe counterpart. Starting in 1991, HUD was optional for all trim levels in both coupe and sedan. GM used an outside supplier to develop the first gen HUD system from 88-90, Hughes Electronics. Starting in 1991, GM used their own in house supplier/system developed by AC/Delco Electronics. Both gens are identical internally to the ones used in the Cutlass Supreme coupe, (89-90), sedan, (90-93), and convertible, (94-95). Only their accompanying covers are different depending on the shape of the dash pad in which they're being installed on...GP dash pad or Cutlass Supreme dash pad. The location, style, and how the image is adjusted depends on model year and whether it's a GP or Cutlass. Both HUD gens used the SAME BLUE/GREEN color font for the information being displayed on the windshield. It's very cohesive in the Cutlass Supreme cars as the image matches the color of the dash lights and buttons but a little bit out of place in comparison to the ORANGE/RED dash color lights and buttons for the Grand Prix.

For the 91-93 STE, the LQ1 wasn't standard, it was still optional. The 3.1 was standard. Also, the 2nd gear start feature was standard in all automatic LQ1 optioned coupes and sedans for 1992. Total STE production for 1993 was 834. I'm actually restoring a last year STE. Of those 834, 505 got the LQ1, 100 were White with Graphite cloth interior, and only 2 got luggage rack, HUD, factory CD, and moon roof. Mine is 1 of the 2, a California car so it also has the appropriate California emission codes.

The LQ1 was not just available in the GTP Package, (standard equipment), it was also available in the models such as the GT coupes, STE sedan, and SE coupe/sedan as an option. One more notable thing to mention, the 2nd gen HUD unit debuted for 1991. An AC/Delco unit compared to the previous gen unit developed by Hughes Electronics for the 1989-90 years. Same identical units for both gens that was used in the Cutlass Supreme.

A little bit of misinformation there at the end of the video concerning production numbers. Only a 1,000 STE Turbo's. 700 in White, and 300 in Maroon. Total STE production I believe was in the 5,000+ range. Love this video series by the way! Thank you. I'm actually restoring a last year 1993 LQ1 STE car.

Interesting review. It is interesting the power they get out of the smaller 4 cylinder engines. You did a good review. I did not realize the car was as roomy as it is in the inside. The styling does not say roomy. They are dropping this, that leaves the two Cadillac sedans( CT4 and CT5) in North America. I think there might be something to the Pontiac rumors too. I know GM in China and Middle East has more sedans. I wonder what GM is up to in the grand scheme of things.

If it's a 🌈 e.v. no if it's a non looking camaro v8 trans am then yesssss!!!!!!

I’m still trying to find parts for mine

Nice work,the dash panel in burgundy you were showing was a nintey,and older LeSabre/Electra style,in my uneeded opinion,the 91,and 92 Park Ave,and LeSabre was a much nice looking instrument panel. Thanks for the nice work.

Any Pontiac engine will fit in any of these years easily to make them the way they deserved to be made. Preferably the 400 or 455. Just saying.

Too many trinkets. Blacked out lights look horrible, and no, it doesn't look like it "came like that"... Sorry.

My parents had a 1967 Grand Prix. It reminded me of a fighter bomber..... big, heavy and fast. It kinda floated at 120mph.

it’s nothing like it used to be in the 70s/80s where it was packed and people would just drive up and down all night

My first car, bought it used from an older gentleman in 1989. To this day it was the most durable car a young man could own and extremely fun to drive for $1500 dollars at the time. Features I remember 1 ) Had air conditioning 2) reverse was where first gear would normally be in any other car. 3) first gear was below reverse where 2nd gear would be in any other car at the time. 4) This car could handle high revs, not that I tried to blow it up but hey you know what I mean, it was very forgiving to a greasy teen behind the wheel. 5) no rear defrost wires in back window ( every other Malibu in canada at the time would have had this) 6) Better handling than my dads 78 Malibu due to heavier suspension. 7) when pushed 1st gear to 70km 2nd gear to 120km (You loose 5km an hour shifting across the gear box with that giant truck clutch) 3rd gear seemed endless but yes that little 3.8 litre would push that brick to 200km on a good day with new spark plugs !)

My first car was a 1978 Grand Prix wow

Why does the red Malibu look like it is held together with duct tape?!

Well done!

The wagons are beasts! It was the first wagon Holden made which has the same wheelbase as the sedan. I have a V6 one with a centrifugal supercharger that beats stock SS's or G8's 😊

Nice to know I am not the only who wants to see Holden and Pontiac return. I would add Oldsmobile to that. Good talk about suv's and crossovers. It is true. No character or styling. Not everyone wants them or needs them. The other great point that was made was about GM dictating to the market. They have done it for years and you see what it got them.

Clean build! I remember this car from Forza Motorsport 3

Nice! G8 looking sweet!

I really enjoyed the interview. I appreciate him sharing his "Holden". I liked the fact he knows his stuff about GM and Holden. I also think it is great he was able to get all that stuff including the clothing from Australia. You both said a lot of truth about GM and some of the choices they made. It could have been different. I wonder if you can get Holden Caprice and Statesman and Calais items and more from Australia. What they did to Holden is still messed up as well as Pontiac and Oldsmobile. It would have been nice if Holden had been sold as Holden in the United States and Canada, but it was not. Again thank you for the interview and the car. They should have brought the Caprice here and sold it as a Oldsmobile and called it Regency or Holden Regency. That would have used the 1997-1998 Oldsmobile nameplate that was on the Eighty Eight line. I do like there is a Holden group and they have meet ups and more. Oh, well....

Great interview Gary and loved learning about your car!!!! I NEED TO DRIVE IT NOW!!!! lmao I am more of a "66 Camaro girl BUT this car is awesome!!!

Thanks for having me on your channel Darrick! It was super fun!!

West Virginia v EPA is a perfect example of how agencies have been making things up as they go well beyond the letter of the actual law. Same with the atf "redefining" things to make things previously legal into new classifications so things fall under the NFA.

*sniff sniff* smell that? That's the smell of trip duce with no emissions

Interesting insight. They have limited the industry and people had to buy what was being offered. Maybe things will change and they will start to once again build the kinds of cars people want. The Americans have walked away from sedans and coupes where the imports have not. The electric car revolution did not happen as they thought.

Wow..the car there is amazing very different here in the Philippines..🤭

I love these cars and I wish I had one 👌👏👍🍒❤️.

I watched the video. Nothing to say this time.

I mean the Hummer EV came back as a GMC product... Im not saying Firebird would be a good fit in another brand, but maybe they bring the Firebird back as a stand alone car for now and let all dealers have access too it. 🤷 GM and the customer would be best served by avoiding dealer politics.

Nice video, thanks
