In order to save Pontiac, GM would have to commit to fully leveraging Holden across the board, and unfortunately the exchange rate isn't there. So - they'd have to close Australian plants and move work to the US. but even then, shipping costs are so high now it still might not make a profit.

Bottom line? Either make a credible, RWD performance brand or kill it.
