Except for the fact that Pontiac was introduced by GM! Jaguar was its own company then bought by god knows how many companies before it was bought by Ford. All Pontiac cars share the same body and engine as chevy's therefore I consider it a GM product. But your right they did make a split grill. congrats.

 

a very audible lol from this party

 

Ford sold Jaguar.

 

I'm not sure what this argument is about.

If GM wanted Pontiac and its other brands to be so independent, they wouldn't slap a GM badge on every single one of them.

 

doh. n/m

 

The name Pontiac was introduced by General Motors but it was actually a conglomeration of several coachworks that were placed under one roof, and out of those Pontiac survived as the dominant brand. But either way it has no bearing on what constitutes a division and the brand. Both examples are brands offered by a parent company, whether that brand existed on it own before being purchased has no bearing on making it anymore antonymous from its parent company. As far as being right, they did not make a split grill they have always been split grills since the 60’s. Every Pontiac has a split grill, whether it is functional or not.
Finally not all Pontiacs have shared Chevy engines, that did not occur until the late 70’s and early 80’s. In fact some of today’s Pontiacs use an engine from Opel or even Holden. Pontiac only has one model that currently shares the similar body components as Chevrolet. Glad to clear that up for you.

 

Wrong.

 

Yeah but it cannot erase the fact that there were Jaguars produced while Ford owned it and supplied parts for those cars. So like I said you would still not refer to that car as a Ford Jaguar.

 

Great proof, what other models share Chevy body parts with Pontiac?

 

G5 -> Cobalt
Torrent -> Equinox

Glad to clear that up for you.
