Long Production Run and Strong Sales
Built between 1981 and 1991, the Pontiac 6000 sold more than 700,000 cars. The two‑door variant was discontinued after the 1987 model year, leaving only four‑door sedans for the remainder of its life.
Peak Popularity in the Mid‑1980s
The model’s sophomore season recorded its highest percentage volume at 15.74%, and 1986 marked the greatest production tally for the 6000. These figures show the car’s growing appeal during its early years.
The STE’s All‑Wheel‑Drive Innovation
The Pontiac 6000 STE was the only A‑body to offer all‑wheel‑drive, a unique feature for its class. In its final year, 1989, AWD became standard and production was capped at just 1,300 units, making those models especially rare.
Cultural Impact of the STE Model
The STE version helped pull Pontiac out of General Motors’ “dark ages,” becoming a go‑to choice for buyers from 1983 to 1989. Its popularity cemented the 6000’s reputation as a key player in Pontiac’s lineup during that era.
