@William: Perhaps it SHOULD go global, IF it could. The ONLY reason Buick survived is that it was a global brand. Pontiac was WHIPPING Buick here in the US.
Regarding Dodge: Increasingly, I’m seeing Pontiac being compared to Dodge on other Pontiac-related message boards. You would think that Dodge–being Chrysler’s only mainstream brand–would target Chevy or Ford. Instead, it seems to be going after Pontiac’s demographic: Younger buyers looking for sporty vehicles. That gives GM another reason to revive Pontiac: To go after Dodge. Chevy targets Ford, Buick targets Lexus, and a revived Pontiac goes after Dodge.
By the way, thank-you for joining the chorus of folks calling for Pontiac’s return!
