I’m not going to dwell much on this as it is apparent your mind is set regardless of what facts or alternatives are presented to you.
Still, I will ask a few questions.
What makes up a Pontiac? Is its only requirement be that it has the name and Arrowhead? With your comments about the G3, G5, etc, that seems to be all that you care about: a name and a badge.
What about the hardworking people that built the Pontiacs during its last years? Guess what, they’re putting that passion into building Chevrolets and Buicks (Maybe some Cadillacs). Don’t you care about those people who made your Pontiacs?
What about the Engineering, Marketing, Logistics, etc support for Pontiac? Yet again, a large majority of those people are still with GM, and still working hard to bring an exciting vehicle to try to satisfy you. Don’t you care about them?
What about the corporate management? As Alex has previously stated a few pages back, there were people for and against keeping Pontiac going. Unfortunately, those against were more persuasive. Does that make you care any less for those in management that fought for its survival?
And lastly, have you given any thought to the previous suggestion for trying to bring the brand back? Based on the lack of feedback, and lack to any realistic effort on any other messageboard (bringbackpontiac, high performance pontiac, pontiac forever, etc.) I am guessing you’re not willing to make the effort. If the name is all you want, then do what PontiacRulz suggested. There are T/A conversions for Camaros available.
At the end of the day a car is more than just a name. It embodies the vision of the designers, the ingenuity of the engineers, the craft of the PR, and the dedication of those in manufacturing. If you want to punish those people because their hard work isn’t emblazoned with P O N T I A C, then that’s your choice.
As for me, I stand behind the people, because people is the most important P word in this conversation.
