I heard on World News Tonight ABC
that GM is considering dropping the
Pontiac Division. What can we do to
keep Pontiac going????

What can we do?

Nothing unless we have the cash to buy out the inventory.

But I think this is exactly what GM needs to do. Along with killing Buick, Hummer and Saturn. Chevy loses all the truck sales to GMC. GMC has a better rep with contractors and comfort then the Chevy. Chevy gets all the cars and vans and small cross overs. Caddillac keeps the luxury.

Pretty similar to what Toyota and Honda do now. GM has way too much internal competition to survive.

Im sure it will because they hardly made any of them....

only the really special models of the GP will hold value later on. like the limited, or the 40th anniversary, pace cars.

if you have a regular old GT or GTP I wouldn't depend on my kids college funding on selling the GP in 15 years.

Cant we send e-mails to the top heads at GM or
get a letter writing campaign to save Pontiac?
Once Pontiac is gone its all over. Lets do
something positive to save Pontiac.

I doubt that we could
send an email that
would really impact the
head honcho's at GM. They
have bigger problems than to read
fan mail from Pontiac lovers.
They should worried about their pensions
and big ol' salaries. Cutting internal
competition, like Herc said, is what
they need to do. Why waste the money for two
almost identical molds?

I agree with R.S.
they wouldn't read
it if we sent it to them.
I think it would be good
if GM cut some brands
out of production.
This is sort of like
a Haiku, but not.

besides GMC and Chevrolet, Pontiac is the next-best-selling division.

I wish GM would have kept the Grand Prix.
THe G8 is rear wheel drive. I need front wheel
drive for the snowy conditions.

Dang, I think I'm "bad luck" with car brand company.

When I have 1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. The Oldsmobile went out of business. Now, I own 2 Pontiac Grand Prix. Now Pontiac is possible out of business.

I guess I need buy Ford so I might make Ford out of business? lol
