I was at a Pontiac dealer on Sunday looking around.

A lot of people hate the G6, but I've always thought it was the most unfairly bashed car on the market. The sedan is fairly bland, but certainly not offensive. And the coupe and convertible are appealing cars.

The G8 is a damn nice car, as is the Solstice. And the very cool Solstice coupe is on the way.

I don't think that's really a bad basis for a strong brand. Even tossing in the Vibe and rebadged Cobalt G5 coupe for the entry-level buyers doesn't hurt.

If they only had a new Firebird on the way to generate some real excitement and showroom traffic, Pontiac's future might be brighter.
