I don't see why Pontiac "fans" are so averse to the idea of Pontiac crossovers. I don't mean crossovers like the Lambdas, I'm thinking more along the lines of Infiniti FX and BMW X6. While crossovers may not fit in with the Joe Dirt image of Pontiac that its hardcore fans have, the bottom line is that crossovers sell, and are poised to become one of the market's most lucrative segments as buyers shy away from SUVs and trucks.
This thing is just begging to become a Pontiac....
With a dearth of affordable sporty-themed crossovers, something like this might bring a lot of traffic into Pontiac showrooms. Why let the Mazda CX7 dominate this segment?
Put this on the market, call it something like Pontiac Typhoon CrossCoupe, power it with a turbo Ecotec four or optional 3.6 DI V6, and watch 'em fly off the lots.
People may hate crossovers, or the idea of one with a Pontiac badge (yeah like Pontiac's
sooooo revered by the public), but the bottom line is they sell. Ford's ancient Escape is selling better than it ever has. GM needs to muscle in on this segment, and something like this might just be the ticket.
Well it was an idea....
