I was going to make the Scion point about Pontiac also. What Scion should be is what Pontiac should be. Scion is cool, but doesn't have anywhere for people who like it to go if they want MORE vehicle. Pontiac should be like Scion, but have a place for people to upgrade if they are into that kinda young hip brand, but want a bit bigger vehicle. I also would keep Pontiac more true to making hip cars instead of the various odd hip vehicles Scion has. But the accessorizing and customizing after sale aspect of Scion would work well with pontiac. I think the existing pontiac customers would ebrace those kinda options big time also.
