    Angry GM will kill Pontiac The Detroit News

    RIP Pontiac Looks Like We'll Know For Sure Monday.

    http://www.detnews.com/article/20090...444/1148/rss25
    2009.25 Pontiac G8 GT, Switchblade Silver Metallic, Premium and Sport packages
    Atari Gauge Mod, Hard Wired Nav w/ ProClip, AFE CAI, Superchips Tune 2.0, Clearmask Complete Kit. PIAA Bright White Bulbs All Around. Putco Fog Lamp Bulbs, Royal Purple Synthetic, Debaged, 6.0 Litres, SS, and V Badges.
    From page 8-7 in the G8 Owners Manual - "If more power is needed for passing, and the vehicle is going about 35MPH or more, push the accelerator all the way down"

    Not worried too much about it. It is what it is.

    Default No more Ponchos?

    Looks to me like we all own instant classics--that just happen to share many parts and pieces with the new Camaro. It could be worse, like back in '87 when I bought my GN from the Buick dealer knowing it was the last of the rear wheel drivers...

    Previously, GM said it would keep one or two Pontiac models as a niche brand. But the Obama administration is pressuring GM to go further in downsizing its money-losing operations.

    Totally correct and in agreement. But why does this surprise anyone, another classic example of government and business trying to run a company.
