It's gonna be a rough year.

What can you say to GM about this? To quote Hyundai.."DUH"

I'm a big GM supporter, but todays conditions snuck up on us just a bit faster then continental drift. But don't worry, I hear Pontiac is getting the G3/Wave to help out with the small market. BRILLIANT!

Hey, can anyone tell me why PONTIAC can sell the G3, VIBE, G6 etc. as 4 doors models but not the G5? Like that is what is going to tarnish Ponitac's reputation (not that the old girl has much reputation left anyway).
