No More Pontiac Cars in Transformers Films

28 April 2009 3:30 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »

Hollywood may have foreshadowed the future of Pontiac in "Transformers" when one of the film's heroic robots, played by the carmaker's two-seater roadster, was violently ripped apart and tossed aside. General Motors had long put Pontiac on the endangered-brand list, but the Detroit automaker Monday said it was officially pulling the plug on the 83-year-old company by the end of 2010 as it focuses its efforts on its Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and Gmc cars. It's getting rid of its Saturn, Hummer and Saab brands, either selling them off or eliminating them altogether by the end of this year. For Hollywood, the retirement of Pontiac means the loss of a brand that has played a major role in movies and TV shows since it bowed in 1926. Personified mainly by its muscle cars, Pontiac drove its way into pop culture, with its Gto the focus of a song by the Beach Boys, its …

Gm Loses a Division; Hollywood Loses a Player

28 April 2009 1:45 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »

GTOs, Firebird Trans Ams...and the Solstice. Personified mainly by its muscle cars, for more than five decades Gm's Pontiac division drove its way into pop culture history. But those days are over. Financially decimated and fighting for its very survival, the General has announced that Pontiac is dead.

With its Gto the focus of a song by the Beach Boys, its Trans Am serving as Burt Reynolds' getaway car in the Smokey and the Bandit trilogy and the model for 'K.I.T.T.' in NBC's Knight Rider, and its Firebird the favored set of wheels for James Garner's detective Jim Rockford in The Rockford Files, Pontiac was a favored brand by both big and small screen stars alike. And, of course, who could forget the Solstice two seat roadster, as portrayed in Transformers?

General Motors had long put Pontiac on the endangered-brand list, but the …
