No.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #31 on:** March 14, 2015, 05:15:27 AM »

I'm guessing FIAT.

oko94 · « **Reply #32 on:** March 14, 2015, 05:17:22 AM »

Opel has already been ruled out, so maybe Vauxhall ?

not another GM company.

So maybe a coachbuilder, like Pininfarina ?

not FIAT, but other involved companies come from the same country.

So there's another Italian company involved ? Maybe Coggiola ?

Was that a possible new model for Alfa Romeo to be built with Pontiac? (oh my...)

Yes it is!!!
It was a cancelled after Ford showed interest to buy Alfa Romeo. I.DE.A. provided the design, but my source doesn't report which parts were done by AR or Pontiac.

Another point for you!

Very interesting! Thank you for sharing. Oh..those magazines.....

The chassis was Alfa Romeo 164. IDEA did styling and body.

...and what was Pontiac's part?

als15 · « **Reply #45 on:** March 19, 2015, 05:10:23 AM »

I believe almost none. The study was aimed to develop an Alfa 164-based Pontiac, as far as I know. It should have been just branded as a Pontiac.

DHoffmann · « **Reply #46 on:** April 20, 2015, 08:53:04 PM »

And it had a name....

(For search results, it's called Portello. Named after the first Alfa factory.)
