I think I'm going to Dodge this one. Yes I know, lousy pun. Thanks John.

I think I prefer the Dodge because it is safe and conservative, however the radical and daring '65 Pontiacs with all new and extreme coke-bottle styling cannot be ignored. PONTIAC.

This was tougher than I thought.  I do like the Dodge a lot, always have.  But against the Pontiac, it is a distant #2.  So PONTIAC for me please!

'61 - '64 the Pontiac over the Dodge, '65 to '72 the Dodge over the Pontiac.  So Dodge in this post.

I voted for the GP. But I have to admit that while I am a huge fan of GM's designs for '65, the GP mysteriously came looking to me larger and bulkier than the rest of the lineup. I think it's a combination of the verticle slats in the grille and the skirts on the rear fenders, all working in an odd way to make the car look "fatter" and "thicker" than the rest of the Pontiacs, to my eye.

JK I can't believe you said that. I take umbrage at your comments Sir.

I too look fatter and thicker since 1965 but I'm not changing my grille nor my skirts !
