**** the Government....... “Pontiac was the first real muscle car and the government doesn’t want muscle cars,” favoring fuel-efficient models, Wolkonowicz said. “I’m sad to see this brand go, it’s truly iconic.” I will do burnout and liight them with gas all the way to the white house!

Don't believe everything you read,
I've been hearing this BS for months now, Until GM puts out a Press release it's NOT Official.

It doesn't sound like Pontiac is being mentioned as a specialty car company as part of GM anymore. Guess we'll know more when the official announcement comes on Monday.

There's still a chance that they could sell Pontiac off. That wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. GM mismanaged Pontiac and itself into the ground. Maybe a private investor will revive it and we'll see a 2013 Trans Am/ whatever you'd like to see them build again.

Pontiac dealers are closing. Pontiac will be dropped down to just the G8 & Solctice. So yeah Pontiac might as well be dead.

you know what i think is contradicting...that pontiac is part of gm right..and the government says they dont want anymore muscle cars really that people are favoring these green cars...yet the camaro is coming out...

and on top of that, if i were the ceo of gm, i'd cut all the really low selling models out of all the brands...cadillac...chevy..saab..saturn..pontiac.. .and keep the core models, but then also bring back the bird
