For people born in the ’80s and ’90s, the word “torrent” is often a bad word in certain circles. But leave it to GM to try and take a controversial word and build a brand around it. The Torrent was the second SUV to have a Pontiac badge on it and it was offered as an alternative to the other compact SUVs on the market (via Car & Driver).

Unfortunately, the Torrent was a carbon copy of the Chevrolet Equinox in every way, and there was no way to avoid this. The Torrent didn’t end up selling very well, and the Pontiac brand was folded shortly thereafter. GM has tried the compact SUV segment a few times, and the Torrent was one of those projects.
