Final U.S built Pontiac rolls off the line...

In probably the saddest moment for me in a while (meaning no more new solstices for me...), the last Pontiac is built.

Here's a link:

Final U.S. market Pontiac Rolls off Production Line

thats pathetic, sold as a damn fleet car! This is about like when olds was shut down (which was kinda due since all they had was crap!) but with me being kinda hardcore Olds most of my life...My first car was a 84 Cutlass with a 70 350 Rocket, also had another Cutty and 4 other G bodys. Its just one of those sad times and end of an era

It sucks to see Pontiac go, and it especially frustrates me that they kept GMC, which is total bullcrap since all GMC is just a company that rebrands GM trucks and SUVs into GMCs...

I would of much rather seen Buick go, rebadge some Buicks as Cadillacs and keep Pontiac. Doesn't really make any since because now theres a void were there mid level performance minded cars once were, which will be filled with what, Slowbalts and base Impalas? Maybe a Lucerne..eww

True, forgot about that one. At least let go of Buick and GMC and to lower their chevrolet range since they have cars that nobody wants to buy. Like the aveo, cobalt, hhr and other crap like the traverse which is an ugly car...!

I heard GM didn't want to get rid of Buick because of how well it sells overseas (China)

[Street Wolf]

Thats what happens when you build sh*tty cars for an extended period of time, and still price them the same as vehicles much, much better.

Farewell cheap Pontiac crap

Farewell Pontiac!

IMHO GM should have scrapped GMC I agree along with the now dead Saab, Saturn, and Hummer, and keep Chevy, Pontiac, Buick and Cadillac. Chevy mostly trucks suv's along with the Corvette and Camaro, Pontiac to be a car line up. G8, new Trans Am and Solstice. Buick mid level luxury cars and SUV like the Enclave, and Cadillac Top end everything Escalade, CTS, STS and SRX. Mainly my point of keeping the pontiac lineup minus the crap like any SUV badged as a Pontiac.

Farewell cheap Pontiac crap

err pontiac in general or their last few cheapo branded cars?

[99prixgt]

government motors...

[16MustangVet]

X2 on the 03-04 cobra them things can be had pretty cheap along with the even cheaper 03 04 Mach 1 also not supercharged but DOHC and a Solid rear end.

n0t cool

[SDGTP99]

No flashy send off for Pontiac? Last car's a fleet? What a shame.

[nicksilvergt99]

I researched this for school and found something pretty interesting; gm had a plan to keep pontiac but drop EVERY car that wasnt performance based (bring pontiac back to its roots, as performance cars) so they would keep probably the GTO, G8, GP GXP, and Solstice. Good plan imo but it fell through.... =/
and pittman06, i found pics of my uncles old Hurst Olds with a 442. It was a sweet car, oldsmobile made some cool stuff back in the day ha

[SDGTP99]

Oh yeah, Pontiac does have the Hurst G8. . . Unless it was axed.

442 wasnt a engine.

I was told the same thing about Buick being huge overseas. Never would of guessed?

[Sandman]

Sad to see Pontiac go, I mean they were GM's third largest selling brand and Buick was way below them. The Chinese love Buick's the way we love out Cady's over here. They are a huge status symbol.
