Someone at Pontiac was Conservative?

Still lots of big, thirsty Suburbans to haul politicians and their goons around.

This is probably part of the answer right here:

It was primed with a lineup of powerful, rear-wheel drive models

I have a '96 Firebird that is just ready to flip 100K. It has the 3.8 liter and will put you back in the seat when passing on the highway.

80-85 mph and still gets just under 30 miles to the gallon.

One of my favorite cars, I've had four of them!

I sure as hell don't want the Feds dictating what to sell or or not sell ...
... but taking krap like this off the road can't be a bad thing.

They should have killed Buick instead...

Buicks line up market wise against Lexus, so sales are never going to be high..

Pontiac would have given americans a nice choice in a affordable car young males would buy...

...But the administration rather have young males neutered to drive "green cars"

Maybe it is because the name PONTIAC is offensive to Indians! After all, Pontiac did lead a conspiracy to force the Brits out of Ft Detroit.

The fort held.

No worries. I shall NEVER own a Government Motors car.

If you gave me one for free, I would destroy it, lest it fall into someone's hands.

Bammy wanted to play at being a business man, just like he plays at being president, or even plays at being a man. So he made a decision, just to make one and show who was calling the shots, even though it was not a good one.

Pontiac was killed because it was the performance brand. Liberals hate performance. (At least for other people.) Why is Chevrolet putting a four cylinder in the Camaro? According to one of my car magazines it was because for a while Camaro was the only selling Chevrolet product. Somebody in the Administrations said that it wasn’t environmentally conscious and that if they put a four cylinder into the Camaro people would buy it in preference to the 300hp six and the ridiculously powerful V8. So, next year Camaro gets a 259 HP turbo four out of the Impala.

The GM brands as seen by liberals:

Buick — old white guys
Pontiac — young white guys
Oldsmobile — AARP
Chevrolet — redneck, but also blue-collar union, and with useful patriotic cachet
GMC — useful troglodytes who remodel our kitchens

I’ve seen no actions by GM that would lead me to believe they have pulled out of their death spiral.

Someone tell Lutz that GM should have filed for bankruptcy. Twinkies are back and Pontiac isn”t.

No elected official should have such power to derail and retool an economy to their own taste.

Skrewed in AmeriKa is no way to run a shop.

I’ve also wondered why Pontiac was dropped. Who was the brilliant genius who made the decision to drop a probably solvent line? I’ll bet you can’t find out!
