Oh, those Pontiac execs were at it again. (Spoiler Alert: They’re going to be there at #1 again!) GM used Pontiac as their experimental brand at times to throw out some crazy concepts. One of the most interesting and frankly impressive concepts they ever put out was the one for the Pontiac Trans Sport.
What the Public Was Thinking After Release
While sales were okay for a while, people never fell in love with the Trans Sport. Public opinion never allowed it to become a titan in the minivan sector. As things continued on, the public essentially decided “I’d rather have a sports utility vehicle”. This led to reduced sales and a redesign to a more traditional design before Pontiac as a whole was contracted from the GM lineup.
