Default End of Monte Carlo after '08

I just got a copy of Autoweek and it looks like after '08 no more Monte Carlo or Grand Prix

I wouldn't be suprised if Pontiac is the next line to go at GM; then Buick.

I read somewhere that they will move the W body tooling from Oshawa 1 to Oshawa 2 in December to make room for a new platform over there. I'm just wondering why they would do a move just to operate the line for some 6 months. Maybe it will end earlier? Or what I read was just rumor and speculation. Seems a shame, just when they make the cars cool with the V8, they kill the platform. I just hope they make another 2 door maybe beyond the Camaro, reason being the dealers will probably try to 'market adjust' pricing on them. One of the draws to GM for me is the good $$$ for what you get.

Pontiac is actually doing quite well recently, thanks to good sales of the G5's and G6's. As for the Monte Carlo going away, I could care less. It lost my interest after they turned it into an overpriced front-wheel-drive.
