The Pontiac automobile line was introduced by General Motors in 1926 as a lower-priced version of their Oakland Motor Car line. The Pontiac name had been used on a manufacturer in 1906, but the company did not survive. The Pontiac logo was originally meant to represent an Indian (Native American) arrow-head, and early slang for the vehicle was to call it an Indian (a term still used by some hot rodders and enthusiasts).

"Pontiac's stylists confronted a difficult task in designing the new GTO: Rather than starting with a blank computer screen, they began with an existing assembly of sheet metal mostly imported from Australia. They deserve a round of applause, then, for crafting a look that is clearly Pontiac, and especially for doing so without slathering great expanses of plastic cladding."

The Pontiac Solstice is a roadster from the Pontiac division of General Motors. The Solstice was nominated for the North American Car of the Year award and Design of the Year award from the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) for 2006. It has been a runaway hit for Pontiac, with 7,000 orders in the first 10 days of availability and 6,000 more orders before winter. Although first-year production was planned at 7,000, GM apologized to customers for delays and increased production, delivering 10,000 by March 1.
