Say Goodbye to Pontiac

Thoughts?

As far as I'm concerned, As long as GM keeps the Corvette alive, I won't resort to domestic terrorism.

Oh, well.

not a big deal..... most american cars have gone down hill.... stop the bailing out of these companies that are going to fail anyway...... we all know jap and german cars are the cream of the crop

There´s obviously too many cars being produced, and its only natural that a lot of companies are going to have to close. Throwing money into the bottomless pit is a daft strategy, shame for the workers and their jobs. But that´s the way the system works.

Damn I used to dream of having a Pontiac firebird, ....

Say goodbye to the original 'muscle car' brand

That's a lot of people out of work. Employees, manufacturers, repairmen, dealership salesmen, dealership service people, etc.

If anyone wants to drop roses on the grave of a retailer, then you should put Wal-Mart out of business; see what happens them. There are other manufacturers to fill the void of pontiac, just like there are other retailers to fill the void left by wal-mart. Is there a union for wal-mart employees?

I was hoping for an updgraded Trans-Am.

GM is dropping the Saturn line too, they need to consolidate and come back stronger, with fewer, but better products.

They've been so powerful for so long that they probably don't know how anymore.

another car gone by the wasteside

Sad to see the Fire bird go but just the way of business. GM needs help bad or they are going to have to declare bankruptcy soon

Pontiac sucks now.

Someone might buy it.

All things end. This is sad because of all the jobs that will be lost but The American carmakers keep putting out inferior products

For the most part, this is very true. Last time I read, all of Ford's products were at least average or higher in reliability, 2/3 of Chevy's and 1/3 (wtf) of Chrysler's products were rated average or higher. That's just flat out embarassing.

Goodbye Pontiac

bye Pontiac, you beautiful fat old ***** you!

It's every ones fault for buying foreign cars! Everyone was warned for YEARS!!
