By no means advocating these cars as unicorns, but writing from Minneapolis before attending the NCAA Final Four and two things come to mind. First, been here 24 hours and I cannot get over how many Pontiacs are on the road here. Azteks, G-cars, Vibes….I stopped counting at about two dozen in an hour or so, all in downtown Minneapolis. Googled it but no answer on why so many. Maybe just GM territory?
Anyway, got me to thinking that CarMax tends to limit inventory to cars no more than 10 years old, and the day is coming when there will be no more Pontiacs for sale since they went out of business in 2010. Here’s four of the six Pontiacs still on CarMax lots. The G3 is a Daewoo piece of shit. The G6 GXP at Dulles may be a 2009.5 model, a bit rare.  The Vibe is really a Toyota Matrix and probably not a bad car. Understand only 97 2010 Pontiac Vibes were made before the Pontiac shutdown – now that would be a unicorn! And to think you can get the bumper-to-bumper MaxCare warranty for another 100,000 miles, until these extinct cars are 15 years old!
