I'm not so sure... Pontiac isn't teh same division it was... But we'll always have the memories, now won't we?

So sad that the last Pontiac my family will likely ever have a chance at will be a rebadged Cobalt. They've fallen quite bit from that '69 Judge that's burned in everyone's memory when you think about it. I shake my head, but let's not go blaming PCS... He explained to me a long time ago his attitude about Zeta, the G8 and Pontiac, and I accepted it as perfectly reasonable, passionate even. If this is the End... Than They're going out with some good cars that are on the right track in concept (Solstice, G8), Although the G8 is right in concept... to me it will never be more than the GTO of late was to me... A rebadged Australian Car. Good concept, not enough effort. If Pontiac's resurgence was to work as we had all hoped, it was to happen here, not in Australia. Oldsmobile too, seemed to be on the right track, maybe even more so than Pontiac. Will I ever buy a Saturn? No Hummer? No Saab? Maybe but it'd be a tough sell.
I don't see this as a reason to abandon the company that's given so much over and over again to my family, when my grandfather immigrated to this country in 1929 to escape Stalin's oppressive collectivization. His parents first car was General Motors product, since then there have been almost thirty others, not one bad... Maybe I just haven't had the pleasures of RWD V8s but I really, but I love GM Vehicles still, their new product is amazing, and as long as I'm able they will have me as a customer. I don't mind FWD or Turbo 4s, if it keeps Caddies, Buicks, and Chevies rolling off the assembly line... so long as they never become what Pontiac has been allowed to become.
If it's somehow necessary to the bigwigs to eat a few slices to keep the majority of the Pizza intact, then I'll have to accept that. We all wish that Pontiac won't die and that Oldsmobile never did... I personally think some smaller slices (read Saturn, Hummer, Saab) should be the ones lopped first but GM's a global company, and Saab and Saturn-Opel have more global potential maybe...
As long as GM can make tasteful, conservative, yet sophisticated cars like the Malibu, Invicta, Acadia, and CTS, as well as a nice NG Impala, Regal, and NG DTS, I'm happy as all my bases are covered.
