With the right products, Pontiac could be revived and could sell big volumes again. It's all about product. If you check out Pontiacs year-by-year sales from decades past, it had some huge up and down swings in sales volume. It's not impossible that there could be an upswing, although I don't think GM really cares about the brand.

A G8 coupe and a new Firebird would be a good start.

I don't think Holdens are an insult to Pontiac fans. Not to this one anyway, and not with products like the G8.

I have no problem with the G6. It's a very good mainstream car.

I'd like to see the G5 made more than just a Cobalt knockoff. Share the platform fine, but let's see some different sheetmetal.

The Solstice is great, and I'm looking forward to that coupe.
