I think maybe when GM gets back on track and is exceeding the competition they might bring the Pontiac brand back.

F U GM for stomping my loyalty into the ground!! It's an ABSOLUTE DISGRACE that the final Pontiac will actually be a Toyota. 5 new Pontiac's since 2002 and this is my parting "gift"? F U!!!!!!!

I'm keeping my G8 GT til the wheels fall off. Pontiac deserved so much better then this.

BrickTamland · 06-09-2009, 11:09 PM

So no DI 3.6 for the G8?

GM in bankruptcy, they're killing Pontiac. Uncle Sam is on board and is changing the rules as they go for GM's benefit. They could easily (politley) tell Toyota that the contract is being discontinued if they wanted to. This is just another case of GM's eternal crappy managment.

Well Said. It is a disgrace and unending proof GM can't manage a brand or has any idea what they stand for.

this is a shame. of all models they offer it has to be the toyota based one. would be nice if the last pontiac to roll off was a solctice or a G8 even a G6 GXP

63GrandSport001 · 06-09-2009, 11:23 PM

would be funny if some contractual agreement with Toyota keeps the Pontiac brand alive lol.

This is stupid. Pontiac's death is only to please the Government. It could have survived with Buick and GMC without Vibe.

Wow they killed it faster than I expected. The only reason why the Vibe didnt die is because Gm couldnt get out of their NUMMI contract.

Pontiac's death was decided long before the government even gave GM the first dime.

Only Vibe is listed. I think plans changed. I had already heard no G6 or G8, so this is not a surprise.

I would more or less consider Pontiac's last model year to really be 2009. Thus in this sense, GM/Henderson lied.

Though it's not surprising.

I would like to see Henderson removed as CEO & someone w/an engineering degree & vision along w/other true leadership qualities replace him.

Not if they sell it & if they do, they sell it to the right person/company that can do Pontiac justice.

Its sad that the last Pontiacs ever sold will be riceboxes.

The last Pontiac SHOULD have been a special edition Firebird (rebadged Camaro) with flaming chicken sprawled on the hood.
