Bummer
I've always had a place in my heart for the pontiacs, hate to see them go.
What they should do is keep Chevy and Cadilac as different brands, then combine the best of pontiac, buick, and gmc into simply GM vehicles, as one company. You'd have a solstice and a revamped firebird and the G8 for sports cars, the gmcs trucks, and the buick for passenger cars. I think that would make for a healthy lineup. I hate to say it, but in regards to the new cars in production, brand loyalty has lost any meaning, especially when you have 3 or 4 companies building the same car, just simplify it and build a car thats good, then worry about a name.
Now i was was wondering how you guys felt about the new gen gto's that came out a few years back. I know they wern't very similar in visual to the goats of old, but they had the right concept, a basic midsized car with a tough v8 engine, the true concept behind the musclecar.
The other thing I cannot understand is why the auto companies don't think that if they just went back to making the cars here in the us, they'd gain much more loyaly by giving jobs back, plus they don't get we need money if they want us to buy there cars. They're all just so caught up in the short term to get a grip on the fact that they need us, and they're throwing money overseas where they'll never get it back.
I personaly wouldn't mind the government carrying the big three for 6 months to a year if they were to start setting up back in the U.S., because that would be worth our tax dollars in the long run, getting our economy back on track, and our cars back on the roads
