Re: My ideal Pontiac lineup
My ideal Pontiac line up:
compact- Delta based coupe/sedan possibly based off the Toranna concept. HP (base to top of the line) should be 150-272 and have a sport suspension and low stance. FWD for the "tuner" crowd
Mid-size- the G6 with a mild tweak on the interior and more power under the hood, 200-300 would be good. Lower stance and sport suspension. FWD
Full-size- Grand Prix- Refreshed interior, refreshed taillights. 260-350 hp under the hood. RWD
Wagon- Vibe- new engine, mild refresh of the interior, FWD/AWD
Roadster- Solstice- Nothing to change there from Ive seen so far, RWD
No Mini-vans, full size SUVs allowed. All Pontiacs would be an inch lower then Chevys, have a sport suspension with good shocks and whatnot, and have comparable or better HP then the competition (I compare Pontiac to Nissan rather than BMW). All models should have at least 3 color options on the interior (rahter then the all black interiors I see so much of). All should have race inspired gauges, chrome/brushed metal/wood accents used throughout the interior. And pricing should be comparable to Nissans. All models should have maunal as an option. 4 and 6 speeds for the auto
with manumatics. Pontiac shouldnt worry about hauling familys or making a "sporty" minivan. They should also offer the "mood lighting" Ive seen on the SAAB concepts, that would be awesome and make the cars unique.

So lets see. Toyota lied about recalls. Lied about their HP ratings... I wonder how much truth is in their milage ratings..
