Re: Pontiac Needs to Close
I argue with the title of this thread. What Pontiac needs is not to be a BMW competitor, thats what Cadillac is for. Pontiac needs to be fun to drive, with sporty intentions, and good looks. The cars need to be bold, and there doesn't need to be a full lineup. I would recommend at least 3 cars, but probably 4 would be best. And at this point, I wouldn't even mind the G#'s. Just get some good cars out there...NOW!
Solstice - Kappa II/Alpha SWB - 1.4 DI Turbo 180hp (Base) / 2.0 DI Turbo 260hp
G4 Sedan/Coupe - Alpha SWB - 1.4 DI Turbo base / 2.0 DI Turbo 260
G6 Coupe/Convertible - Alpha (Reg. or LWB) 1.4 DI Turbo / 2.0 DI detuned (260) 3.6 DI Turbo 300hp
G8 Coupe/Wagon - Zeta 3.6 DI Turbo 300hp, 4.0 DI Turbo 375hp, 6.2 LS3 430hp (GXP only)
Trims levels are:
Base
GT
GXP
Transmissions Include:
6 Speed Auto
6 Speed Manual
