Could Pontiac come back?

They havnt even paid back the government loan completely how on earth does anyone think they would bring anything back when they really still need to trim more phat to be profitable, they are making headway but it will take years and a crap ton of sales before they could ever think about bringing another brand back.

Only way I see Pontiac coming back in any form is some special edition Firebird/Trans Am. Thats about it people. For as much as we plead and wish they would return there dead. GM ruined the brand when they decided to put everyone together. The moment our beloved GTO become Australian you should have known they were a goner. Although I must say I do love the Aussia cars, but saying GM cannot make there own designs anymore is kind of underrating them I think. Who's the one who pays Holden? Who owns Holden? Oh yeah..... GM. There is my 2 cents.

I was going to post this at: http://www.grandprixforums.net/could...k-2-47645.html, but the forum disappeared. Chris at Intense was telling me a little bit ago some guys are running turbos on the 3.6 v6 Camaro and putting down about 550 HP. GM could probably get close to 400HP easy from the factory then. But I'm hoping GM comes out with a direct injected V8. First it was the Soltice 4cyl, then the 3.6 v6 in the CTS, now it should be the V8. There's talk of it when you google "generation v v8 gm" or "direct injection v8 gm", but couldn't find anything official. This is the most recent article I could find: GM's new high-tech direct-injection V8 set to supersede Gen IV used in Commodore - Cheers & Gears Forums Hopefully they'll decide to bring one of these cars or makes back when they bring out one of these engines. Kind of like how Toyota introduced Scion. There was only like 2 or 3 cars only at first, but it developed from there.

No they havnt, they paid the initial loan off with another government loan they are still government motors.

Read this some people will believe anything if they want it to be true but here is the truth.
