Yes. It could be saved. But cars like Torrent? Wave/G4(3)? Grand Prix? They have no place.
GM says CAFE is going to kill the performance car?

Sorry. You can make performance, fun to drive cars without V8's. It might rile people up, but it can be done.

What is most important is GM stick to the performance image of Pontiac; otherwise, it is no better than a Chevy. And at this point, I'd rather GM spend its time improving Chevy as the core brand of GM than dicking around with Pontiac giving it stupid product.

Giving Pontiac rebadged Chevys is worse.
Kill Pontiac.
Make Chevy better and improve, revamp, and rework its image.
