Front-wheel drive. Most passenger vehicles on the road today use front-wheel drive (FWD), where the engineâs power is routed to the front wheels. In fact, all but a handful of SUVs are primarily front-wheel drive vehicles, with additional components that send some power to the rear wheels as the need arises. Front-wheel drive designs are cheaper to manufacture and more space-efficient than rear-drive systems.
April 27, 2009. Today GM announced it would stop producing new Pontiac models by the end of 2010. This is the end of an era for the once-proud performance brand, but it also leaves a lot of questions for car shoppers and Pontiac owners. We talked to Jim Hopson, Pontiacâs manager of communications, this morning to clarify GMâs statement.
Oldsmobile was not the problem, it was GM that made oldmobiles but they stopped making them in 2004 and the reason is that Oldsmobiles did not bring in enough money for GM or â¦ (General Motors) to be happy so they stopped. but if you ask me i think any car that lasted 106 year is good enough and is a good car to keep selling.
