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.

They tried this crap back in the day too. They put the 2.5 iron duke in the Firebird and Camaro.. I only saw a few. They also tried the 2.8 V6 in them.

I bought one for 200 bucks. First thing I did was stuff a 400 small block chevy in it.

Rear wheel drive, performance oriented, masculine. Liberals would naturally hate Pontiac.

There were 4 cylinder Camaros in the 80s too. And Mustangs.
