Pontiac G6 and holden torano built on the Alpha platform.

Move the Pontiac G5 to the Kappa platform and build a Holden version of the same car.

Build a G10 sedan that is shared with the Holden Statesmen
No G10! No more gees at all.

If GM wanted to kill Pontiac slowly and painfully, then that's what they should do. If GM wants to revive Pontiac then GM should return to what made a Pontiac, a Pontiac. Aggressively styled, niche marketed, redone Chevys with more engine options and designed to be profitable at less than main-stream volumes. Pontiac could be a great division that showcased GM more exicting less main-stream division.

Not only are Holdens an insult to true Pontiac fans, they're an absurd proposition to begin with. Holden has already proven that their leftovers do not sell well here(and they're about to again). Compound that by the fact that exchange rates are less than favorable right now.

GM should cut the crap and go back to doing what always made Pontiac fans happy for forty-some years.
