2009年：龐蒂克

????所有消失的汽車品牌中，龐蒂克（Pontiac）是人們最懷念的一個(gè)。龐蒂克的歷史可追溯到1926年，它塑造了一個(gè)平價(jià)的高性能汽車制造商的良好形象，旗下產(chǎn)品包括令人難忘的龐蒂克GTO。一直到1988年，龐蒂克仍然是美國第三受歡迎的國內(nèi)汽車品牌。不過20世紀(jì)90年代早期，F(xiàn)iero停產(chǎn)后，龐蒂克的名字開始更多地打上了通用汽車平臺的烙印——缺乏特色，毫無魅力。年輕顧客開始轉(zhuǎn)向進(jìn)口品牌，龐蒂克只好在日漸萎縮的大馬力國產(chǎn)汽車市場陪伴著年老的車主。2010年，在密歇根州通用汽車Orion工廠的裝配線上，最后一輛G6孤苦伶仃地下線之后，龐蒂克宣告停產(chǎn)。

2009: Pontiac

????Of all the brands that have disappeared, Pontiac is one of the most sorely missed. With a history stretching back to 1926, it had built a well-established identity as a maker of performance cars at popular prices, like the memorable GTO. As recently as 1988, Pontiac was the third-most-popular domestic car brand in America. But after the demise of the Fiero in the early 1990s, the Pontiac name became mostly associated with badge-engineered GM platforms of little distinction or desire. Younger buyers moved over to import brands and left Pontiac with older owners in a steadily shrinking market for high-horsepower domestic cars. Production ended in 2010 at GM's Orion, Mich. plant when a G6 forlornly made its way down the assembly line.
