Re: Future for Pontiac

I got a new idea for Pontiacs lineup if all goes well with Proton.

First we would change most of lineup already.
Solstice-keep as is but update it more, and get coupe out faster.
Fiero-Lotus based sports between Solstice GXP and GTO, powered by a ecotect di turbo 2.0/ one of the more powerfull v-6s with turbo.
GTO-coupe version of G8, with 6.0 base and 7.0 Judge with 7.0 supercharge for Judge GXP
G8-on sedan version of GTO platform, but with 6 and 8 aviable, and 6.0 GXP to.
G5-small 2+2 Kappa based coupe with I4 and turbo avaible.
G6-make on Toranada(cant spell) with already aviable engines and maybe find way to make it AWD to.

Thats all I got for now.

Re: Future for Pontiac

Are Australian design preferences becoming closer to European? (as I believe U.S. tastes are)
If so down the line, there wouldn't be any/much discord.

Imho, a Pontiac lineup of Solstices ('vert & 2+2 coupe) and Toranas & Commodores (coupes&sedans) + a F-Awd G6 could work out OK.

btw
where's Paul??

Re: Future for Pontiac

I guess France either caught up with him or he's taking a LONG sabbatical.

If Pontiac revives "The Judge" trim for the GTO, there should not be a Judge GXP trim. That's just a stupid idea. A "Judge" trim should be a rare model & be above a GXP model. Then again a GTO GXP model is stupid in itself. Too many letters.
