oh wow G6, Solsztice? Pontiac should have gotten the Sky.
GTO and next Camaro Sharing Same Chassis? wtf?
Granted I've always Hated GM, but I've always loved Pontiac. they were the performance division, now as someone else said, the Oprah division..

Could this be cryptic for Firebird???Remember they need a pony car in the $25-$29K market..
GM's :Toyota: so to speak, they've always stood for affordable quality...and I really like the New Line-up!
(I own a '91 Regal and '95 Supercharged PA...luv'em.
...and hope to trade up pretty soon...)
In the same memo, LaNeve also cited our intentions to "reignite Pontiac's muscular design and street credibility"
and build Buick as a brand with vehicles that are the "quietest and highest-quality in their segment."

GET RID OF SATURN, F(CKEN UGLY SATURN! Or GMC how many flavors of the same PICKUPS AND SUV'S DO YOU NEED?
I hate those cars. Its just yet another 300 flavors of vanilla that both chevy and pontiac have in there lineup. Try this one LUTZ the reason GM is sucken ***** is becuase they sell the same car through 8 different DIVISIONS! To top it off its all BLAND Cheap styleing. Nothing GM has is on par with the rest of the automakers. Styleing sucks, reliablility isnt that great either and the quality of materials used isnt exactly the greatest. In another tread a board member wanted to cut costs and corners to get a v8 rwd car here. Guess what? GM has always done that to the f-bod and when it looks like *** and has terrible reliablility then they ask themselves why it flopped? Then they are just gunna cancel the car AGAIN.
If GM cant do the car right then they shouldnt do it at all. As far as lutz dropping divisions he cant afford to. The reason why they are loseing sales is because other then the gp, g6 and gto the rest of pontiacs lineup sucks and is meant to be a rentle fleet. Same for chevy they have vehicles that run from the tracker to the vette. The only distinguishing vehicles are the SSR, Vette and Silverado SS. All others are Mundane and all rentle fleet vehicles. I couldnt find one thing i liked about any of chevys lineup except for the vette.
Buick i feel is a lost cause just like oldsmobile. Olds never got any PR and was just phased out. Buick yet again has 300 flavors of vanilla that you can get in any other division. Buick sales blow because all they did was advertise on the PGA tour and tiger woods was the spokes man. Now they are useing Aerosmith in a sad attempt to attract people who are younger. GM did it right with caddy when they amped it up full force by putting it in the superbowl, several TV & Radio ads and it paid off because now there rep is bigger then ever.
I hate to say it but ford is getting it right and chrysler is right on its heels. Ford has offerings for everyone all in 1 DIVISION.

They are acting like GM is the devil or something, what gives!

Here it is in a nutshell. The NYT/LAT is about as BIAS as you can get. And in their eyes GM is the devil!
They are the far left fringe of our society, and in their twisted view GM makes gas guzzling Hummers,Suburbans, etc
, and other SUV's so yes, to them GM is the big evil corporate Devil.
They are on a mission to bring them down, just as they are republicans. They also reported in the early polls kerry was winning, and we all know what happened there, right? Tell ppl Bush is losing and some( seniors particularly) might not come out to vote due to the fact their guy is losing=helps their guy, get it. When they are having closed door meetings with members of the DNC , what do you think they are talking about! They have an agenda ppl and its clear! As I mentioned in another thread 95 front page Abu Graib stories and 2 Danny pearl stories on the back page!
Ford and DCx is not the #1 automaker that is why GM is on the top of their list. Once they take down GM the others will follow. Now don't you think that if you are getting your news from such a source ( BIASed ) that it's not really news anymore, but more like propaganda( like the moore movie, "Fahrenhype 911" should clear things up for you check it out its pretty good). Remember the Dateline fiasco? These guys( NBC,CBS, CNN, etc) have the same agenda socialism... Wake -up ppl! Now look I don't support all of Bushes policies and I'm not asking that you do, but Its a well known fact kerry was, and is anti-military/anti-defense which was something that he's proven over 20 yrs in the senate. And that(servicemen) is something we can't do without regardless of what liberal do-gooders tell you. Long and short of it the Elite Media is seriously BIASed, and so are any of those french automagazines c&d, r&t, mt, did I miss any ? OK so maybe that wasn't short at all, but then again neither are most of my posts. If anyone has another reason, I'm all ears! The American ppl are getting fed up with it and the proof is in the fact that these networks are losing their market. And their jobs ( Rathergate)!
I know I'm not alone cuz its an awful Red country out there!
Liberals... flame on!
