You also have the opportunity to go one big step up in luxury if you choose the SJ line which is available in hatchback and wagon body styles."[9](note: a new '75 Vega option was the special custom interior, similar to the Astre SJ interior)[10]
The Pontiac Astre is a subcompact, four passenger automobile produced by the Pontiac division of General Motors. A re-badged variant of the Chevrolet Vega, the Astre was introduced in Canada for the 1973 model year, sold there exclusively through 1974. The Astre debuted in the U.S. for the 1975 model year competing with other domestic and foreign subcompact cars including the Mercury Bobcat and Toyota Corolla. Built on the H-body platform, Astre's two-door model range included a Hatchback (coupe), Notchback (sedan), Safari (wagon), and Panel (delivery). The Astre shared the Vega aluminum-block 2.3 liter inline-four engine through 1976, but the final 1977 Astre models were exclusively built with Pontiac's all-iron 2.5 liter inline-four engine. The Astre was cancelled with the Vega at the end of the 1977 model year. The Sunbird Safari wagon, essentially a re-badged Astre Safari wagon, continued for the 1978–'79 model years.
The Astre features Pontiac's trademark split grill, emblems and steering wheel with an upgraded interior trim to help differentiate itself from the Chevrolet Vega. Other styling differences compared to the Vega include — 1973 model Astres have a black-finish grill and clear parking lamp lenses on all models, and chrome headlight bezels on non-GTs. 1974-77 models have first generation Firebird-styled taillights on Notchback and Hatchback.
