Thread: OFFICIAL: Pontiac is Dead as of now.

So i guess out of all of this i get some hope cause the only talks of selling brands deals with Hummer, Saturn and SAAB BUT Pontiac has not been mentioned just to be phased out so maybe sometime down the road they will revive it .... fingers crossed

im officially going to order a boycott GM license plate now. i am officially done with them. instead of filing bankruptcy and voiding the union contracts and getting inline this way, they opted to taked our tax dollars and are now being ran by the .GOV. They have no idea what they are doing and unfortunately the UNION helped get this President elected, so he HAS to protect the union. For anyone who isnt old enough to realize what is going on, its called socialism. If we don't get the .GOV out of our workplaces they will continue to do what they feel is needed for us. oh and F U GM!!!

How could you get rid of Pontiac, why not get rid of Cadillac?

Its called 30+ years of mismanagement by GM and you know why they cut pontiac even though they sold a substantial amount is because of the system they use to get cars to dealers instead of ford and other companies ways where dealerships order how much they want and what kind to meet there needs GM has been for years and years just making cars to flood dealerships because that was the contractual deal between the UAW and GM the UAW wanted to have a specific number of cars that had to be made so they would be guaranteed money but in reality it leaves over to much stock
Now Holden has to deal with a multi billion dollar plant they just built (not sure on exact money for that plant) just meant for g8s and now they are losing it maybe a year after its mismanagement by GM not the government the only reason the government is stepping in is because its the only shot at saving this if bankruptcy were to occur many more jobs would have been lost and cutbacks would of been even more monstrous take it from a Detroit native that has been hearing the on going debate about this way before the rest of the nation finally started paying attention

REPORT: Holden to lose $1 billion annually if GM shutters Pontiac

the plant had to refurnish some of it to build left side driver cars so they will lose 1 billion annually

Just call the G8 a Chevy and be done with it. Pontiac really has nothing besides the G8 at this point, everything else is duplicated elsewhere.

^^^^ that is SAD isnt it........

Get rid of all the managment in GM and start fresh..... kids out of college. I could draw stick figures better than their cars.....

i just dont get it honestly there must be 300,000 g5and a g6''s out where i live haha this isnt cool =[

This is such a sad day. Does anyone think that any of our Pontiacs will go up in value in the future because of this
