2006 - Pontiac Gto on 2040-cars
Sun City, Arizona, United States
This is the one you've been waiting for!!!! Less than 40k miles Stock untouched motor and tranny King Springs (The ONLY progressive rate drop springs to use on these cars, imported from Australia, has a slightly stiffer than factory ride), 460 from JHP Extra set of BRAND NEW rear King Springs, 280 from JHP K&N CAI JBA Exhaust (Really nice growl as RPM's increase, nice burble when compression braking, absolutely no droning -extremely quiet- while cruising down the highway), 40-3110, 550 from JEGS GMM Ripshifter, installed (hands down, the best shifter ever made for these cars, imported from Australia), 40202, 477 from JHP Original shifter, not installed Royal Purple fluids (Rear differential and transmission) JHP Gauge Pod 34405R(factory wiring harness equipped), 679 from JHP Factory cover where the gauge pod is now Pedders HD strut bushings and bearings installed (Replacements for the notorious stock bushings that collapse) Pedders poly radius rod bushings installed (Stiffens up the caster when accelerating and braking, a must for these cars) Predator Diablo Tuner Infinity speakers (All door speakers replaced, original stock stereo and subwoofers remain, sounds MUCH better than stock) 18" factory wheels Factory SAP grill (Yes this an OEM part, good luck finding one cheap ANYWHERE!) Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires with LOTS of life left (Very quiet, sticky tires with a long wear life) Sales brochures from 2004, 2005, 2006 and paint samples Two sets of keys, each with the glove box key Original lugnuts with factory plastic covers LS2 T56 6 speed Cyclone Grey Metallic High book on this car is 15,900. There is well over 3000 just in extra parts that comes with it. Do the math. This is a good deal. Overall, I rate this car at a solid 9.5 out of 10. It's not perfect, but with the low miles it's the nicest example I've seen for quiet some time. I have taken excellent care of it and never raced or abused it. I would drive this car anywhere at a moments notice, it's just that reliable. I purchased this car from the second owner in Houston, Texas with 14,900 miles on it. If you want an unmolested example of the best of the modern GTO's then look no further. All of the upgrades are simply to make the car drive and ride better (like it should have from the factory) while still keeping it as close to original as possible. I'm not driving it, but I do have the car for sale locally and might put a few more miles on it for test drives and such.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
