So.....anybody that knows me and cars knows I'm a fan of Pontiacs. GTOs, Firebird/Trans Ams, G6s, G8s, I love em. Today, GM is closing Pontiac and I must say, they shall truley be missed. Today, we are loosing a piece of American history, true americana.
I completely agree. Pontiac should have stayed. Pontiac was GM's performance brand, much like Honda has Acura as a performance brand. The Firebird was indeed Pontiac's most beautiful model (all years), and the GTO is simply a classic. Even the new Solstice and the G-series vehicles were very nice.
ReplyDeleteI am also heartbroken about GM's eliminating of Pontiac.
They got rid of Saab, Hummer, Saturn, and are getting rid of Opel in Germany, and may be eliminating Vauxhall in England. But keeping Buick just to keep sales in China high seems a little wrong to me.
