    It's all over for General Motors' Pontiac brand.


    The last Pontiac built for the U.S. market rolled off the assembly line at GM's Orion Township, Michigan plant Wednesday afternoon.


    The final Pontiac was a white G6 sedan.


    The automaker did not allow any media into the plant for the completion of the vehicle, nor were there a commemorative banner or any GM officials on hand.


    The 82-year-old brand went away quietly, with workers stopping to pose with the last cars as they built the vehicles on the assembly line.


    In April, GM announced it would eliminate Pontiac as part of its bankruptcy restructuring.


    The Orion Township plant which made the last of the nameplate's vehicles will be retooled to build a new small car in 2011.
