The Pontiac J2000 , later in 2000 and Sunbird called, was a vehicle of the US automobile manufacturer Pontiac , which was built by the spring of 1981 until the summer 1994th

The J2000 was based on the J platform of General Motors , was the sister model of Chevrolet Cavalier , Buick Skyhawk , Cadillac Cimarron and Oldsmobile Firenza and related to the Opel Ascona C and Vauxhall Cavalier .

History 

In May 1981, the front-wheel drive J2000 appeared as a successor to the discontinued Sunbird series as two- or three-door coupe, four-door sedan and five-door station wagon, powered by a 1.8-liter in-line four-cylinder with 61 or 65 kW (83/89 hp). The offer was divided into the equipment variants Basis, S, LE and SE, although not all body styles were available with all equipment.

In early 1983, the series was renamed Pontiac 2000 . The S accounted, for a cabriolet moved into the program. From 1984, there was a 111 kW (152 hp) turbo version of the 1.8-liter for all models (with the exception of the estate cars) . In addition, a two-liter four-cylinder was available, which was not stronger than the base engine, but offered more torque.

End of 1984 was renamed again in Pontiac Sunbird . Thus, the vehicle had the name again, which existed until the first generation in the summer of 1980.

1986 accounted for the LE models, instead, there was a new trim level called GT, which had a modified front end with partially covered headlights. At the same time the two-liter was canceled again. From 1987, a two-liter four-cylinder (of other design than the one offered earlier) with 71 kW (97 hp) served as the base engine and the previous turbo engine was replaced by a supercharged variant of this new engine (123 kW / 167 hp). From 1988, the hatchback Coupe accounted for, a year later, the station wagon.

From 1988, the notchback coupe received a modified roof with sloping standing C-pillars . In 1990, the model program was re-staggered and now included the versions VL (Value Leader), LE, SE and GT. For the model year 1991 accounted for the turbo engine, but there was a 3.1-liter V6 with 104 kW (142 hp).

In 1992, the base model was renamed Sunbird LE and the two-liter engine strengthened to 82 kW (111 hp).

Until production ceased in the summer of 1994, Pontiac manufactured a total of around 1.456 million pieces of J2000 / 2000 / Sunbird. Successor was the Pontiac Sunfire .
