Pontiac (United Republics)

Pontiac or formally the Pontiac Motor Division of General Motors, is an Atlansian automobile brand owned, manufactured, and commercialized by. Introduced as a companion make for GM's more expensive line of Oakland automobiles, Pontiac overtook Oakland in popularity and supplanted its parent brand entirely by 1933.

Sold in the United Republics, Cheyenne, Cardinalia and Texico by GM, in the hierarchy of GM's five divisions, it is slotted above Chevrolet, but below Buick, Cadillac and Oldsmobile. Starting with the 1959 models, marketing has been focused on selling the lifestyle that the car's ownership promises rather than the car itself. By emphasizing its "Wide Track" design, it bills itself as the "performance" division of General Motors, which "builds excitement".
