Pontiac is like Dodge's B*tch, yeah it looks nice and all, but you can manhandle it any way you want. Honestly, a GT or GTP or GXP, all of them worthless next to their R/T or SRT counterparts at Dodge. (Ok MAYBE I'll ease up and make an exception w/ the Solstice GXP, but only b/c dodge doesn't have a vehicle to compete with that, and the 2.0L T is awesome)...but the rest of the lineup gets beat any day of the week. Ok, so we get the hardtop vert G6, the INTERIOR BLOWS! consequently, I won't have it and guess how few verts GM makes...exactly not too many relatively speaking.

Pick a direction, put your money where your mouth is GM, and stick with it for more than 5 years (unlike Olds, where you finally gave it decent product but didn't let it capitalize and screwed it over with horrid marketing)...end rant.

All true. Pontiac either needs to become a performance division again or expire. Otherwise what is the point? GM can not keep re-inventing divisions, it's costly and counterproductive.
