Give us muscle, give us performance, and you can even give us some very fuel efficient cars to get the "green" people in the showroom as well!

Pontiac has too much pride and tradition to be killed while Saturn and Saab live on. Long live the Chief!!
I don't think Pontiac is going after BMW. I think Pontiac is going after the car buyer who can't afford a BMW and lothes the snobby, better than you yuppie driving it. This is a chance to match up to that snob with something you can afford and cause his jaw to drop while his trophy girl looks on and says, "It's ok honey, it happens to everyone"
