Absolutely. But lets see if they make the move and invest the dollars.

I'm curious as to what will happen to Pontiac as everyone else is. However, if they claim that the sales are down (even after dropping key products) then what will happen if sales rebound, even with simple rebagdes? It really makes me wonder - if Pontiac sales do rise even with minimal product investment and a lineup of Chevy rebadges, do they still NOT invest in the brand and think of cutting them?

Very curious indeed...
