They need to put a WS6 hood on every Pontiac car sold. Then bring back the 1998 Trans Am commercial style for the entire lineup, where the LS1 ate the Ferrari and **** it out the exhaust. "Pontiac, we eat and **** out Ferraris" That would work!

Wonder if Pontiac Rocks the Panties would be a good one?

Or how about "Pontiac: Performance Driven", that could be a good slogan? Anything is just about better than Pontiac is Car.

What happened to "We Build Excitement?" THAT was a decent, lasting campaign. This is asinine.

That slogan died because too many people made fun of it -- "We build excrement!" --this was back when Pontiac was still building Grand Am's and Azteks.

I admit though, we need a lolcat to go with this "Pontiac is car" crap.

"guess its our game now"

I liked that one...

Tee hee. I have special thoughts on that, but I'll hold them.

Maybe on import boards, but I'll tell you...you saying that is the FIRST time I've ever heard that. And I sold Pontiacs for 6 years. Lots of them. And while you may not have liked the Grand Ams, A LOT of people really, really did. When I started there in October 2000, we couldn't keep GT models on the lots...they'd sell as fast as we could get them in. Until I drove a GXP or Comp G, I swear a Grand Am GT was the best handling FWD I'd ever driven...and I've driven a lot of them.

They made a then-'00 Accord coupe look like the uninspired jellybean it was. The interior in them sucked (I know, I had one), but they drove pretty nice and looked pretty aggressive for that price category.

I have to admit, I can't wrap my mind around it..."Pontiac Is Car"...
...CAR?...Sounds like a cheap phsyc quote, and doesn't "relate" what Pontiac is to me.
"Pontiac is Excitement"...I get...I can relate.

It should come with: sport tuned suspensions, larger alloy wheels, low profile performance tires, vibrant colors, cool gadgets, race inspired bucket seats, manual shift coupes and manual shift sedans...and throaty exhausts.

"Performance Orientation".
