Orion Township -- The ride is over for the brand that put rolling excitement on the road for generations of Americans. General
Motors Co. built the last Pontiac for the U.S. market Wednesday: a
white, G6 sedan that rolled off the assembly line in Orion Township
around 12:45 p.m. There was no cake or commemorative banner or
senior GM official on hand, and no media were allowed: just a group of
"final process" workers to oversee the last 100 G6 models assembled.
We're focused on a quality build-out for the customer," said GM spokesman Kevin Nadrowski. Many workers stopped to pose for photos with the last cars as they moved down the assembly line. It was a subdued goodbye for an 82-year-old brand that debuted under the bright lights of the New York Auto Show in 1926.
