Pontiac renaissance! It's coming!
For those of you with no pre-concieved notions of what Pontiac "should" be...a product renaissance will be coming to Pontiac soon. A transformation, no less remarkable than what happened during Bunkie Knudsen's time, in the late 50's.
Forget all the rumors you've been hearing for the past year or two - this will be a NEW Pontiac. I for one am excited.

Let me guess, if Charlie is excited, then they are neutering ANY aspirations of muscle cars from Pontiac and making small, lightweight eco-tech powered thingies. If that's the case, the name is as dead to me as Plymouth or Oldsmobile. Hope I am wrong.

I take this to mean Pontiac is going to cheaper (maybe even youth-oriented) products dominated by small, sharply-styled, Ecotec powered offerings. I'm not sure what to think about that.

I am hopeful, but will wait and see what kind of products they come out with. I'm up over $1K in earnings on my GM cc. I want to use it on something that stirs my soul like my current Pontiac does

I thought Pontiac was going to be
New GTO
Commodore/G8
3 Series type vehicle Lutz mentioned as a possible extended Kappa(as what Pontiac fans want)
possibly the Solstice
I also thought a stylish RSX performance vehicle competitor would be a good choice. Pontiac should be BMW on a budget.

wow...quite the statement...and a comparison to the Bunkie days eh? that does make me wonder...looking at the status quo and the status of affairs when Bunkie came in is an interesting comparison...makes me wish I worked in a different industry...
