So im sure as you all know were goin down... Pontiac doesn't look like its gunna get saved on this one. But at least we have the most badass Pontiac cars before it did happen:happy: but does anyone think our cars(firebirds/ta's/formulas) values are going to jump drastically??? tell me what you think:suicide:
THe value won't go any where for probably another 20 or so years till the numbers and parts start to become scarce. The plus side is the value may hold a bit better.
ya thats very true. i sure hope it stays the same or gets better :DQuote:

This SUCKS though, makes me an owner of TWO orphaned GM brands, Olds and Pontiac. Screw GM. CTS-V, Vettes and the '10 Camaro are the only worthy products now, and I doubt those will survive much longer. Does GM really need 3 truck brands (Chevy, Cadillac and GMC) to go with the 3 remaining car brands (Chevy Cadillac and Buick)?? Rediculous.
GeMoCo is the new FoMoCo :jerkit:
Thats what im saying, drop all of the extra bullshit, and keep pontiac! they act like pntiac is the old, and has been ready to get moved out for years...:mad:Quote:

I just think it's dumb though, to get rid of Pontiac. You have 4 different divisions making a version of the same SUV, and that's okay, but you can't keep a division that has a few brand specific cars?
Do they REALLY need Chevy AND GMC trucks?? They're identical except for minor sheetmetal trim differences.
While I actually prefer the look of the GMC's, I say get rid of GMC. They don't make anything that Chevy already doesn't.
While I'm not in the market for a new car now, it's a shame the Solstice and G8 have to die, those are two really good cars.
Maybe they can slap a bowtie on the G8 and call it a Chevelle or Biscayne or something like that. And how about the Solstice as the Buick 'Wildcat'?
