Re: B-P-G: No Trans Am for Pontiac
If this ends up being true, I will consider this GM's biggest mistake in reacting to CAFE. Pontiac really should be about performance. Even if the G8 doesn't last long, they should have smaller more effiecent RWD and AWD cars. I think RWD makes more sense for a performance brand needing effiency though. A transverse AWD setup is actually worse than just going RWD from a fuel economy perspective. That was one suggestion made though in other discussions like this that Pontiac would get primarily AWD Eppy II and smaller cars. I really think pontiac will still get an Alpha and think that Kappa II will not just be roadsters, but also mini coupes and sedans. That would work for Pontiac to have all very small to mid sized RWD cars with great handling characteristics and mostly 4 bangers, but not necessarily big power outside of GXP models.
