I am loyal to the Pontiac brand. Yes, that red arrowhead means a lot to me. As for the folks who worked hard building Pontiacs, but are now building Buicks and Chevys, they’ll have to talk to GM’s front office about that. I wasn’t the one who murdered Pontiac.
I certainly respect all the other folks at GM who work for that company in other capacities. Unfortunately, if they think they’re building the best vehicle they can for ME, they might as well not bother. The only new GM vehicle I’ll be purchasing is one offered by a revived Pontiac.
As for those in management who wanted to keep Pontiac, I tip my hat to them. I certainly appreciate their stand. But the bottom line for me is (again): Unless Pontiac returns, I simply will not purchase a new GM vehicle.
I will not purchase Trans Am conversion kits for Camaros. The only Trans Am I will own is an original, real Trans Am (and I own one right now).
I have nothing against the hard-working people at GM who had nothing to do with the monstrous decision to murder Pontiac. The responsibility lies with those in power who actually DID murder it, and–more importantly–refuse to bring the brand back.
And speaking of “standing behind people”: WHO is standing behind the thousands of people–in the US and Canada– who have been loyal customers of Pontiac for DECADES (such as I), and had the rug abruptly pulled from under them? Who speaks for THOSE people?
And yes: My mind IS set. BUT If GM DOES decide to revive Pontiac, let me ASSURE you: I’ll be back at GM’s side, in a heartbeat.
