I had a 1987 Pontiac
[edit]6000 LE with the logo for the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics emblazoned on a round badge on the B-Pillar. I know of at least 3 or 4 others who had the same vehicle (all of them white I believe).
I also recall seeing a print ad for this version. Does anyone else have any references to this?

Parody?
[edit]Is it really reasonable to say the 6000 SUX from RoboCop was a parody of this? Really, every futuristic movie shows products marked 3000, 4000, etc. so it seems kind of a stretch. I'm inclined to remove it unless there's a reasonable argument to leave it in. --Sable232 (talk) 22:05, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
- According to an entry of RoboCop in the Trivia section of the IMDB, the stab at the Pontiac 6000 was actually built on the chassis of a 1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass four-door sedan.

Power to Engine Size figures must be wrong, surely?
[edit]A 4.3 litre diesel engine that delivers only 85hp and a 3.1 litre petrol V6 that delivers only 135hp - those figures have to be wrong, surely? Andrew Oakley (talk) 12:55, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
- Not necessarily. To meet the stricter emission and fuel consumption regulations a common way were comparatively large engines with the emphasis rather on torque than on maximum power output before more sophisticated technologies were developed. --2A02:560:4261:E400:90F0:E13F:4362:B20 (talk) 17:39, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
I have directed a link in the article to the above title but am afraid there are other plants in Oklahoma. If so please repair and accept my apology. RCNesland (talk) 18:57, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
