Bye Bye Auto Brands!

There was a time when this Pontiac Torrent was brand new! These are from the Detroit Auto Show 2004. The Crossover craze was just emerging, and most auto brands were attempting to figure out the recipe for success. The styling was contemporary for the time, based on a proven platform shared with the Equinox. The Torrent was a solid effort, however history and the market made their final judgement. Quite frankly, I miss Pontiac. The brand was about fun to drive, good looking, affordable performance. To many male buyers, that was a compelling offer.
