“We survived the end of Edsel and Studebaker, well survive this?”
Comaparing Pontiac to Edsel & Studebaker would be laughable if it weren’t so D...U...M...B!

Not being much of a business person, why couldn't GM sell the line (name, brand, etc.) to some entrepreneureal group who could focus on making inexpensive, well-built Pontiacs to appeal to the masses?
Downsizing and smaller companies seems to be where it's at. It might help boost the economy, get people jobs and even make GM some money.
Maybe it's already been looked and dismissed, for all I know. I sure don't know the chances of it making a profit, but I know that there has got to be some people out there that can design a better looking car than what GM has been making lately.

Pontiac (like oldsmobile and plymouth) has been a joke for a long time now. Pontiacs are just chevys with sillier lights and grills.

it takes $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
and with the WORLD economy in the middle of a recession and possibly a depression; now is not the time to be picking up and/or starting a car company...
everyone is or should be going on one HUGE DIET...unfortunately President Hussein & his minions haven't figured that out.

I've often talked about buying the manufacturing rights and drawings (from GM) of the 1957 Chevrolet and begin manufacturing a 21st century version of that car.

When I was young lad , around 1975 , I sent a letter to GM suggesting they bring back the 1957 Chevy .

My favorites were the 55, 56 and 57.
I think the 57 was the favorite of most people.
IMO, the 58 looks like a fat-mouthed shark, lol.

The problem would be to get it licensed. That’s why it (1957 Chevy) would have to be rebuilt incorporating all the required present day features.
