Default Pontiac is officially dead and so is the G8

http://www.motorauthority.com/pontia...uncertain.html

Pontiac will be "phased out" by 2010 and so will be the Commodore-based G8. And no it wont be sold as a Chevrolet. Another blow to Holden and Aussie jobs :(

They are not really selling here anyway. Good that GM is dropping the Pontiac brand, it has way too many brands.

Should get rid of GMC. Not Pontiac. But, then what do i know? I don't know how to preside over losses of $100B USD in the last 2 years...

GM they found the problem and underlined it. Themselves.

As opposed to Ford circling the problem? LOL I hadn't heard that one though.

I think the few threads already running on this subject are enough.
