Just don’t mess with the Corvette, GM. Don’t even think about it.

Chevrolet, Pontiac, and GMC should be combined into a mainstream dealer super-network. Chevrolet’s lineup would consist of affordable FWD cars, affordable FWD/AWD crossovers, and the Camaro/Corvette sports cars. GMC would be the corporation’s sole truck/SUV division. Pontiac would have a small lineup of affordable RWD cars.

Saturn would be changed to Opel and combined with Saab to form an import focused division.

Buick would be combined with Cadillac to form a luxury dealer network. Buick would carry FWD luxury cars and FWD/AWD luxury crossovers while Cadillac would focus solely on creating well executed, world class RWD luxury cars.

Hummer would be sold to the first company foolish enough to express interest in it.

Under the new arrangement, Pontiac’s lineup could be something like this:
* LeMans: Alpha based compact 3-door/5-door aligned with resurrected Holden Torana with styling based on the Torana TT 36 Concept. The car would be 182 inches long on a 109 inch wheelbase.
* Grand Prix: SWB Sigma-Zeta based midsize sedan/coupe/wagon aligned with downsized next gen Holden Commodore. The car would be 190 inches long on a 114 inch wheelbase.
* Bonneville: LWB Sigma-Zeta based large sedan aligned with downsized next gen Holden Statesman. The car would be 198 inches long on a 118 inch wheelbase.
* I heard a rumor that the Kappa platform will be discontinued after the current Solstice & Sky reach the end of their model cycles. According to the rumor, the next gen Solstice & Sky will probably be cancelled instead of switching to anothe platform. As much as I like the Solstice & Sky, I would gladly see them go if it meant that Pontiac would get a lineup like the one listed above. The problem is that they will probably be cancelled and Pontiac will receive nothing but rebadged and twin-nostilized Chevy clone products.

Those were a mistake and the new G3 is too.

Pontiac should just make sporty cars. They can make muscle cars and if they make small cars, the should be hot handlers and peformers that compete with cars like the Civic Si.
Maybe they can make a turbo diesel that performs and gets great mileage too.
No embarassing rebadged Daewoo/Chevys.

This is really tired.

Glad I don’t own any GM products.

Flip flop, flip flop

GM acts like a female…. annoying

What about the Daewoo-Pontiac LeMans of 20 years ago. This is NOTHING new.

so thse will just B gaudier Cheverolets?

they day da G3 rolls off da line is the deth of Pontiac.

¢ Pontiac and Buick dealers are typically housed under one roof, Y R there bouth the Acadia & Enclave?

Y do they have 2 clobe the Cruze? Just let pontiac have an honorable deth. it haz Bcum a joke.

I think they should kill the G6 name & name a RWD seda something else. Nit Grand Am, but maybe Catalina. Ehatwver happened 2 the Banshee?

yes, badge-engineering sa Aveo & Cruze wood B a bold step into the automotive grave.

the setupo w/ “chevy-affordable everyday transportation focusing more on family-oriented consumers … makes sio much ¢ U no GM winn bever do iyt.

the Cruze should not B a pontiac. it is FWD

G3 is na stupid name. Drop it al2gether. remember the pontiac trans spirt? Da G3 us rite up there (or should I say “down there?) in terms of how bad an idea it is.

cloning vehicles duz not work. Unless U R toyota or Honda. But those lusxury companies suck, si maybe it duz work, just not 4 me.

“small FWD models = retarded cousin brothers of chevy cars,” is a good deiscropition fo the direction they R taking pontiac. & selling hopped-up trims of chevrolet cars alongside the regular makes moire ¢ than doing this would.

da Fiero was beyond terrible
but I say in the US, U can count the last GTO or G8, bcuz we never heard of the Commodor. BTW where is da US-spec Commodore Wagon?

small FWD models = retarded cousin brothers of chevy cars. Waste of time and money. You’re basically just sharing sales with your other division.

You might as well kill off pontiac and just sell hopped up trims of chevrolet cars alongside the regular line then. Doesn’t that make sense?

the Cruze should be made a 4 door for chevy & a 2 door for pontiac. the Avea stays an aveo and not a G3 unless pontiac gets a SPORTY 2 door variant. the G6 should go to RWD with sportier characteristics to further pontiacs sporty antics. i can’t believe GM still things cloning vehicles & slapping new names on them all works. I guess it does, in a sense, but its not very smart.
