Produced by General Motors, Pontiac is a marque of automobiles that has been sold in the United States, Canada, and Mexico since the year 1926 making it around eighty years * one of the longest brands to stay in the market. Looking at the General Motors line up, the Pontiac is a mid-level brand that features a more sporting, and performance-driving experience for a reasonable price. It also adds up a youthful feel to its advertising. In its history, it was introduced by GM as a lower-priced version of their Oakland Motor Car line.

In terms of its logo, the Pontiac logo was originally meant to represent an Indian, the Native American, arrow-head. One of the earliest slangs for this brand was to call it an Indian, which at present is still used by a couple hot rodders and enthusiasts. And one of the remarkable vehicles that bear this logo is the 2006 Pontiac G6 * a 2 or 4-door sports car, family sedan or sports sedan that can take up to five passengers. Made available in seven trims, this vehicle ranges from the 1 SV to the GTP sedan. It has a gas mileage of 23 mpg if you are looking at city driving, or 34 mpg if it means driving on the highway.
