Pontiac was a brand of General Motors cars from 1926 until GM discontinued the line in 2010. The Pontiac G6, produced from 2004 to 2009, was designed as a sportier alternative to the typical sedan. The G6 automatic transmission has a safety feature that prevents the key from being removed without taking certain steps.
