Maybe in 20-30 years, but I wouldn't count on it, have you seen how many grand prix's are on the road to date? Maybe your being sarcastic and im not catching it? Have you thought of how many window motors, ICM's, blower motors, and blower motor resistors it would take to keep my GP running that long?  Really though, I knew this would happen weeks ago when Obama and his nerd herd basically told GM "do whatever we say or no more money". They pretty much outlined everything that these articles are saying. Of course I won't believe it's true until it's official on Monday. So, which Pontiac cars will be saved and what will they live on as? My picks: Solstice = Chevy Lil'Vette Vibe = Toyota Matrix G6 = Chevy Grand Am G8 = Chevy Impala Scrap the rest. Sad day. Of course, if they have really good deals to clear out inventory than the wife and I will probably get a G8. But only because our new family won't fit too easily in the new Camaro.

No need to get errogant here! Ben, i was being VERY SARCASTIC! these cars will never go up in value! Im banking on the price of GTO's going sky high and im banking on the G8 GT's to drop in price so that they can just unload everything! lol IF that happens, than i will DEFINATELY be picking up a G8 GT!  lol

why post something that has already been stated?
The reason i say G8 GT is because they are considerably cheaper then the GXP's. I could afford a G8 GT easily lol.

Yep, it's official. Pontiac will be gone by the end of 2010.
I totally blame NObama for this.
