I copied this from another thread. This is the reply directly from The Pontiac Marketing Team.
Thank you for contacting Pontiac and for your interest in the 2010 G8 GXP! We appreciate the time you have taken to write us.
We value your loyalty and apologize for any inconvenience. Pontiac has had a rich and storied history, but unfortunately, despite the efforts of all concerned, the brand has been unprofitable over the past several years. We had hoped in our February 17 Viability Plan to convert Pontiac to a niche brand within the Buick-Pontiac-GMC channel. As part of these renewed restructuring efforts, we spent considerable time formulating Pontiac portfolio scenarios that would allow the brand to be sustainable and profitable long term. Unfortunately after careful evaluation, none of these scenarios proved viable. Therefore, GM is phasing out of the Pontiac brand by year end 2010.
Start of production for the 2010 G8 GXP is scheduled for August 24, 2009 with arrival at dealerships 6-8 weeks later. Dates are preliminary and subject to change. For updates, please contact us periodically or speak with your local dealer. If you are not familiar with dealers in your area, an easy way to find one is by using the dealer locator web tool at http://www.pontiac.com/. You may also get updates on this website as new information becomes available.
At Pontiac, we strive to provide exceptional customer service. If we can be of any further assistance please email us or call 1-800-276-6842 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. E.S.T., Monday thru Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. E.S.T., Saturday.. Thank you for contacting Pontiac.
Sincerely,
The Pontiac Marketing Team
