New red 2009.5 G6 GT Sedan and it was really sharp, plus the guy driving it had a huge grin on his face. Also saw an 87-90 Trans Am GTA in red, it was perfect and sounded bad-ass, I want one someday.

I hate to say it but I could care less. Saturn is gone.

This sounds pretty darn cool actually.

Combine both those numbers together and they total up to pathetic.

Last year Chevy sold 100,000 HHRs alone and it was a car many said was too little too late and then we get a good Pontiac and jap rebadge and only come up with 7,000 units over two months sold.

Pontiac is lucky it is too expensive to buy out the dealer franchises as they would not even make niche status other wise.

Just sad!

You must be one of those around here who believe's less brands means a better GM. Less brands especially B-P-G as some have suggested canning means a large customer base lost and more sales that would "default" to Toyota, another great idea. Pontiac has a very loyal fan base and with cars like the G8 and Solstice they still have "value". I have long been a fan of the new 2009.5 G6 and all its improvements as well, if a Pontiac existed with those three models I could be very happy. Your lucky GM isn't getting rid of Pontiac because that would be a HUGE mistake, mark my words, do you recall the Olds ordeal?

NOT EVERYONE WANTS A CHEVROLET! FYI.

Anyother information? Thanks so far for info tho, I just want more of it.

Anyone driven a GM car with the shift skip? So how does it work? And how it will effect driving a new Camaro SS with a six speed? Also can it be removed? Please help me I have been wondering along time (and since my son or I will be getting one I was wondering), also do they include so the Camaro dodged the gas guzzler tax? What is this launch control and why is it slower in the M/T review than the without launch control? Also I have driven a few manual trans vehicles lately but what is the best way to launch one for max acceleration and for a smokey burnout? (On a vehicle like the Camaro SS, I understand to push the clutch in and release slowly while applying more and more gas for normal driving and take-offs, but it has been so long for me, since owning one and "ringing it out" I was just wondering on all this stuff.) Your help would be most welcome. Thanks in advance.

More great news.

Oh I don't know who cares about sales..maybe any company that ever existed to sell a product?

Yeah, pickups and 400+ horsepower cars will make huge profits sitting on the dealer lots when gas is $4.00 again.

If you have a balanced portfolio of really good mainstream cars you can afford to put money into really good performance car projects.

Truer words were never spoken.

Great photographs and another glowing review!

What a glowing review coming from M/T. Maybe I'll keep my subscribing for another year, just because of this.

As ever, this platform is essential for Pontiac, and Pontiac is essential for Alpha. Buick does not fit. AT ALL.

I agree, and I hope were suprised. Good news anyways Zeta is good through 2016 I have read. Pontiac ain't dead yet but I do expect less models but am prepared for the worth.

Pretty sure this is better fuel economy than the Accord V6 Coupe, Altima V6 Coupe, Camry V6, Malibu V6 and has at least 25 more ponies and is sending the power to the rigth wheels for 23K.

Saw this on my way home from work. Sorry about the crummy camera phone picture. Thats all I had. It is a 80-82 Corvette in Red. Sounded good too!

GM is not doing anything with Buick because they are on fire in China. Honestly I think a LWB EP II is coming for Cadillac so a Buick verison is possible.

I actually said a pray that Camaro would kick Pony a$$.

That's been the plan from the start.

Yup its not marketed as a Muscle Car like it should be but rather a sports coupe with the V6 RS. I am a little disappointed they didn't market is as a Muscle Car to the red-meat crowd, like me. I have a feeling there will be some of that. I do have a question what's a Camaro without a V8? If my son or I get one it will be an SS.

Here is my no frills SS. Aqua Blue or White even Silver is possible color choice for me as well. As for the RS package I change my mind each day, I threw it in anyways. The polished wheels are same way, depends on the color some too. I won't do SS stripes, not because I don't like them, but have seen chip and peel. That would keep me away from them (the wear and tear) and for an extra 20 bucks I can have polished wheels, plus I don't need them. They'd just give me even more attention in c V8 powered muscle car, like I'd need anymore of that.

I almost did that blue, BP.

If I were actually ordering one, I still might.

Go for it you know you can't hate GM forever.

I think GM will be pretty happy with Camaro sales, even in this "down" economy.

Great new website!

Well they were good cars.

Actually I'm glad the previous generation of the A body was carried over for the 1972 model year, because what came in 1973 sucks ass as far as I'm concerned ...

The '70-'72 A-Bodies were the best looking by far. Although some of the '68-'69 models weren't bad either. For me a 1972 GTO Hardtop 455 H.O. in Lucerne Blue with Rally II's or Honey Combs and the Sports Stripe. If I got a Chevy it would be a Chevelle Hardtop a '71 SS with an LS6, if it were a Buick a '70 Hardtop Buick Skylark GSX 455 Stage I, if I got an Olds it would be a '72 Hurst/Olds Cutlass 442 'vert in white/gold and a 455 of course.

Traditional Pontiac's (before the lame names)

Grand Am

Grand Prix

Bonneville

Firebird/Trans Am

New Age Pontiac's (with lame names)

G6

G8

Solstice

Vibe

possible small performance car... (G5 maybe) and...

Camaro based Firebird *six cylinder* and Trans Am *eight cylinder*

then call the G6... Grand Prix

G8... Bonneville

G5... Grand Am

Solstice and Vibe stay the same....

On the "GM Fastlane Blog," Susan Docherty has replied to some of the people who wrote comments about her claim that Pontiac is "Alive and Kicking."

Here's an excerpt of one response: ". . . We’re learning a lot from the customer reaction to the G8, which we’ll be using as future Pontiac’s are designed and built. AWD is something we’ve talked about . . . and it’s something we can consider for the future. As new Pontiacs come to market, I hope you’ll see the kind of positive changes you’re suggesting."

Susan

Those statements seem to indicate that new Pontiacs are being planned and that Pontiac does, indeed, have some kind of future. But because her words seem to fly in the face of what, for instance, Pontiac Custom-S has foretold, there's only three possibilities here:

1. GM has had a change of heart about Pontiac.

2. Docherty's superiors are not being truthful to her.

3. Docherty is not being truthful to the public.

Which is it? As a long-time GM supporter, I'd like to think it's 1.

Thanks for the update. I do think now that Saturn is toast GM could have had a change of heart. They got my email.

There were a few good points, but the not building good cars line is bull$h!, same liberal media trying to take down another great American company. The company I am really worried about is Chrysler.
