Yes. I'm not defending Pontiac's current lineup, I'm defending their huge potential! It's been proven, with the Solstice, Malibum and CTS, that if you build great awe-inspiring cars people will buy them!
In my opinion Pontiac's future is bright, but will need to be dimmed down for survival at this point. Keep the G8 with the DI 3.6 for base trim and only V8 will be with the GXP model. Solstice can be kept in current form for another model year or so, then refresh with both engine choices having DI. G6 needs to be refreshed next model year and be the only vehicle in NA on it's platform available with a manual. That's it. In 4 or 5 years, when the shine of the Camaro has REALLY worn off and GM's got better cash flow, come out with a jaw-dropping GTO and 'Ute to revitalize the brand and start it's renaissance.
