There can only be one. Pontiac should have 4-5 cars tops!
Revive Pontiac....why? Dealerships are being aligned with Buick and GMC. Pontiac should not be more than 3 cars and I think the G8, a cool G5 and a Solstice. One more car to this lineup starts eating into Buick sales and if you put an SUV in there then it eats into GMC sales. The same customer is going to be forced to shop all 3 brands and there is no point in giving them more than 1 choice on the same segment.

BPG is going to be a restyled Chevy store with the addition of a couple of Cadillacs and that is the niche Pontiac has to fill. There is no such thing as reviving Pontiac becuase it is a small piece of a shrinking pie.
