Related: 10 Weird GM Muscle Cars You've Never Heard OfThe Holden Monaro-Based GTOOnce upon a time not too long ago, GM had a firebrand leader named Bob Lutz. He's since left the building, but in the early years of the millennium, Bob saw Pontiac as a legit potential competitor to BMW as an upscale performance brand. This was just after Chevy killed the Camaro the first time around and many loyal GM performance fans were looking for another GM team to root for. Like the rest of us gearheads who were already familiar with GM's Australian Holden brand, Bob knew about the Monaro and fast-tracked a program to put it on the road for America, thus the 2004-to-2006 Pontiac GTO was born. After a series of LS1 and LS2 powerplants, the GTO's performance role was replaced by the L98-powered G8 GT, another great Pontiac in the GTO tradition, but without the GTO name. In the end, though, Pontiac was put out to pasture in favor of the Buick brand. Will There Ever Be Another GTO?As a brand, Pontiac is gone. When General Motors declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy on June 8, 2009 (the
fourth largest in U. S. history) it
looked at its brand portfolio for a way to chop down its losses. Pontiac, Saab, Saturn, and Hummer got the axe (Oldsmobile committed brand suicide in 2004) while Buick remained.
