GM says no more Pontiac.

Pontiac gets "demoted".

First was Oldsmobile; now its Pontiac. When is Buick's turn?

Probably not, GM is now turning to Europe for designing its new marketable cars because of the whole crisis with "global warming" and the Economy... long story short, they have decided to start making primarily economy cars that look like crap.

Yeah a few brands are dropping -- Saab I heard is on its way out too.

That's been Detroit's problem all along. For some reason they think economy and ugly should go hand in hand.

Its true...

Detroit needs to visit the MicroCar Mesuem for some design ideas towards 'economy' cars

I heard Pontiac will be a "nitch brand". Basicly very spcial cars, which is fine with me. who cares about the Grand Am, or G6. Bring out a retro firebird

As for Buick....It is one of the biggest brands in China
