Pontiac Bonneville Warning Lights

About the Bonneville

The Pontiac Bonneville is a series of full-size and mid-size cars that were produced by Pontiac between 1958 and 2005. The mid-size version was only in production between 1982 and 1986.

During its time on the market, General Motors released a total of 10 generations. The final generation made its debut in 2000.

GM announced that the model would be discontinued in order to carry on the sales of the Chevrolet Impala and Buick Lucerne, which both represented higher-selling options. However, these full-size models were also later discontinued due to the decreasing popularity of full-size cars.

The Bonneville was later succeeded by the Pontiac G8.

These models have consisted of several different layouts. These have included a 2-door convertible, a 2-door hardtop, a 4-door hardtop, 4-door sedan, and a 5-door station wagon. These were streamlined down to only a 4-door sedan model in its final years on the market.

Trim levels for the newer models included three trims. These were the base SE, followed by the mid-tier SLE, and finally the top-of-the-line SSEi. In its final year of production, Pontiac released an updated GXP styling for the SLE trim.

Engine options for the last generation consisted of two 3.8-liter V6s and a single 4.6-liter Northstar V8. These are similar to the previous generation which was powered exclusively by two different 3.8-liter V6 engines with various power outputs.

The new V8 engine was released alongside the GXP update, making it only available for the 2004 model onwards.

Transmissions included various different 4-speed automatic gearboxes for the majority of the different generations.
