Re: Pontiac's Uncertain Future

I don't suppose that anyone noted that when Oldsmobile was murdered, the people that bought them went to other makes, mostly Imports. They did NOT for the most part buy Buicks.

Ignore the lessons of history at one's own peril.
Although I have no stats on former Olds owners that jumped ship to imports, I do know that if Pontiac is axed I will part ways with GM and make sure I go right to Ford or Chrysler for a "spite" purchase. Call it what you will but treat the faithful like crap and watch us leave.
