Pontiac as Scion??? ARE YOU FRIGGIN KIDDING ME???

Instead of trying to build a brand that purposely tries to be younger, why not build cars that attract younger people?? That is the FALLACY of Scion!! It's still a friggin Toyota in youthful gift wrapping.

I'd rather Pontiac die than see it become an American Scion. SHEESH.
I agree that Pontiac should not ever be a Scion-like. Saturn would be the better choice to do a Scion-like thing with...or even Geo if it were to return, Which I highly doubt would happen. I too, would rather see Pontiac meet up w/Oldsmobile, Plymouth & Eagle than become a worse embarassment as a Scion-like division. This kind of idiotic/moronic idea is simply a bad idea & should never come to fruition!

As to Mgescuro's thread topic, I disagree that it should die.
I think that if GM was REALLY serious about brand identity of each division it would put money into each division as it has Cadillac to turn them around & get them each on the right track w/their own specific missions to their respective markets.
