They need a volume Alpha to take cost out of the chassis and such so Cadillac can make more money on it. Caddy will get unique suspension and steering bits, but they need pontiac to give volume to any common parts along with Holden and maybe Opel. If the G6, G6 coupe, and G6 hardtop vert were replaced with alpha replacements that rivalled a 3 series or even 1 series dynamically, you can't tell me they wouldn't sell like hot cakes in the 23-30k range?? Specially if the styling was good and such. Not only would they sell well they would only sell well as pontiacs as they wouldn't be understood if they were sold along side similar looking Chevy's or saturns that were fwd.
