CAR Pole: Will Pontiac Return?

[0wn3d_productivity]

Pole incoming, who thinks Pontiac will return? I think so (and hope so).

I don't think GM will go back to the pre-bailout days. I think that the brand condensation is working too well for them right now(and will for many years). My two cents.

 

[Mr.Right]

HELL NO

 

[0wn3d_productivity]

Well, in the meantime, there's always the Trans Am Depot.

 

[NEp8ntballer]

where's the pole? all I see is a poll, what are the strippers supposed to dance around?

 

[GPK]

Not happening.

 

[Mangina]

I hope not.

I don't want it back. It makes my firebird worth more. It's worth nothing now, so a little more than nothing is somewhat ok.

Pontiac not being here doesn't make your car (or mine) any more valuable. Value is determined by supply and demand.

Our cars aren't worth shit if no one wants them.

 

[rockstar b]

It was a joke

No/Who Cares.

If anything, GM needs to CONTINUE to eliminate ancillary divisions, not start up more re-branding bullshit.

 

[twistid]

as a car guy, i'd like it to return some day for sentimental reasons... as a taxpayer, i'm glad it's gone... hell, trim some more fat.

 

[cooly]

no and i sure hope not

and we're done here

I saw a Pontiac G3/Aveo/whatever the other day and couldn't help but shake my head

I drove a 2010 G6 the other day with the new powertrains, face styled after the G8 and the revised interior (debuted in 2009) with tan and black.

It was a good car and it made me miss Pontiac. Even though the Malibu is the same thing it looks much better to me than the Malibu.

I thought with GM not making Pontiacs anymore they would give Chevrolet some of that styling pizazz but so far it hasn't happened outside of the Camaro.

 

[bifolddoor]

Only if they have a decent Trans Am

 

[GammaRadiation]

GM needs one brand.

GM.

 

[CJPA]

Chevrolet, Cadillac, and then Buick for China only. TA DAAAA

 

[m45]

They were such a shithouse brand in their past 10 years.

Id rather GM focus on Chevrolet

They look like they do a better job of corporate twinning than GM did.

Yeah, I actually dig what they've done as well. Even the Judge version is pretty cool.

 

[MeanGreen]

has any american car company ever shut down and returned?

 

[396Hawk]

I don't think so... and I doubt Pontiac will either. It wouldn't make sense to bring them back.
