Pontiac always maintained selling around 500K to 900K cars each year. The sales record they hit in 1973 (breaking the 1968 record) was broken again in 1986. While the mid-1980's are usually not discussed much, Pontiacs were extremely popular during the latter half of the 1980's. Their biggest seller in 1986 was the 6000. You hardly ever see those anymore, yet they sold over 200,000 units in 1986 alone. By 1988, sales of the 6000 had softened, and the FWD Grand Am, Grand Prix, and Bonneville became the most popular.
