http://jalopnik.com/5124488/pontiac-g8-st-officially-dead-gm-kills-el-caminoagain Too bad, as mentioned in the article, im afraid it looks like Pontiac is heading down the crapper. The G3? Are you kidding me???!!!!! Doesn't look like pontiac will have anything cool after they release the G8 GXP for a while, if ever.

I kind knew that G8 was bad idea. There are lot of problems for laid off job, lot of business go out of business, gas price will increase, G8 is too pricy, and some Northern don't want buy RWD because it is not good for snow. I'm sure Pontiac will be gone like 2012. GM want to keep Chevy, Buick, Cadallic, and GMC. Dump rest of other brands out. That's how I remember that I read month ago. Oh well that's life.

The last thing GM needs is another car that isn't going to sell.

What if Pontiac is out of business? What kind brand are you going next? I would go back to become Chevy guy again.

Well, if Pontiac goes out, then my first reaction would be to go back to being a Ford guy. But the new Mustang is a slow, weak-looking POS (and that's coming from a 'Stang lover), so that's out. That leaves the Camaro or Challenger - and the Challenger is a lot better looking, but seriously, I don't know if I could buy a Dodge.
Of course, I supposed I could buy a Civic, slap a couple dozen stickers on it, and be at 500whp instantly...lol NOT
*EDIT* If, that's a HUGE IF, I were to own an import, it would be a GT-R. That thing is sick.

The GTR is sick, its sad to say but the imports look cooler, cost less, get better mpg's. Theres less and less reason to want an american car. Ok the new Chevy Malibu looks alright. But it starts at 22 grand. Now you can get a comparable KIA or Toyota for much less. The golden age of american automobiles if not american automobiles is going to fade away. Heck, we used to own the roads until the mid to late 80's.

Well if I had to pick, it would be a hyndai because I like the styling of the sonata, genesis, and the coupe car they have coming out.
