The demise of Pontiac has generated a lot of nostalgia for the brand. AutoNews ran a poll asking readers to pick the best Pontiac model among these choices:

- 1964 Lemans GTO
- 1966-1967 Tempest GTO
- 1973-1975 Grand Am
- 1970-1982 Firebird Trans Am
- 1993-2002 Firebird Trans Am
- 2006-2009 Solstice
- 2008-2009 G8

The voting wasn’t finished when I looked at the numbers, but the 1966-1967 Tempest GTO was out in the lead, followed closely by the 1970-1982 Firebird Trans Am, with the 1964 Lemans GTO in third. That’s some vintage love if I ever saw it.

The same sentiment is cropping up everywhere:
