Pontiac is not coming back and the fine print at the bottom of that page says the "ad" is fake. It is Car & Driver trying to fill there pages even on a reduced 6 issues a year schedule.
Pontiac died in 2010 because the division was losing money and everything it sold was redundant. Nothing has changed since then to make spending billions to relaunch a brand make any sense.
Minis are BMWs. BMWs have a horrible track record for costing a lot to keep on the road once the warranty has expired. They also all require premium fuel. If you want a cheap manual hatch - get a Yaris or a Fit.
