  1. I always thought that Pontiac could be mostly a division for GM performance vehicles that are not otherwise available in the US. Such as when they had the GTO, and then the G8. But with Holden vehicles not being made in Australia for much longer the possibilities would be reduced.

    All that would really be needed to start is: a small AWD Sedan and Hatch with a 225ish H.P. turbo 4 (Sonic sized) or 275ish H.P. (Cruze sized). A Malibu sized Sedan and Coupe with a 325ish H.P. Twin Turbo V-6 and AWD. A Sedan, Coupe, Wagon and Ute with a V-8 450+ H.P similar to current Holden options (also available with a V-6 Diesel). And if they really wanted to get crazy try to collaborate with Suzuki for a Pontiac branded motorcycle just to surprise people. If they went and worked with Lotus again for engineering help and a shared Twin Turbo V-6 that would be even more awesome in my opinion.

  2. OK, whatever. A few weeks ago it was said that HSV would expand. Then we heard that some Opels would be sold as Buicks in the US. Now we are hearing Pontiac is dead and Opel will be given away. Global brands will wind up being Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and hopefully if we are lucky they might sell some HSV models in the US to make up for killing Pontiac.

  3. I agree with Camino LS6 on the thought of using the names of architectures as model names. This paired with sporty models would make it appear that the platforms were disigned for Pontiac and then used by other divisions. It would make it seem that the platforms were designed to be sporty and fun to drive. I see no problem if Pontiac would be Delta (1.4 and 2.0 Turbo) Coupe and Hatch, Kappa (2.0 Turbo) Coupe and Roadster, Alpha (2.0 turbo and 3.0 V-6 Turbo) Sedan, Coupe and Wagon, and Zeta (3.0 Turbo and 3.6 Twin-Turbo) Coupe, Sedan, Wagon and Ute. It would be 11 vehicles on 4 architectures with 3 engines.
