Astre and its network of experts offer high-quality transport solutions for efficient and economical management of local, national and international flows in all transport specialities.
The Pontiac Astre was introduced in the United States in September 1974 as a 1975 model. It had been in production in Canada for two years by then, starting as a 1973 model in 1972.
The Pontiac Astre was a rebadged Chevrolet Vega, enabling them to participate in the subcompact boom of the 1970s. While the Vega was around from 1971-77, the Astre was only produced during those final three years.
In the fall of 1977, the Astre finished until then, 147,500 copies had been produced . The coupé was taken over with modified front end in the program of technically closely related Pontiac Sunbird .
Even though there wasn't a truly "quick" Astre, Pontiac did offer some cool buzz models, including the Astre Formula and Astre "Li'l Wide Track."
Continued trim levels: The Astre carried over the base model and the upscale Astre S. Minor cosmetic changes: These often included updated paint colors and minor interior trim updates.
Based on the Chevrolet Vega, the Astre was a subcompact model that Pontiac launched in the Canadian market in 1973 and offered in the United States for the 1975–1977 model years.
The Pontiac Division was given its own version of the Vega for the Canadian market, named Astre for the 1973 model year. U.S. Pontiac dealers finally had a subcompact to sell when the Astre made its U.S. debut for the 1975 model year. The Astre used the Vega 140 cu in (2.3-liter) inline-four engine through 1977. [2]
