I also have some great Pontiac memories. In 1973, my dad bought the ’72 GP that became my first car. That was three years before I was born. I’m proud to say that I still have that car. I’m proud of their performance heritage and I love going to Pontiac themed car shows.
Good comparison on the American flag. I can see similarities in my own viewpoint. Like America, I am glad to be a Pontiac owner and gladly profess the great things about the brand. But, I am also willing to confess where there have been shortcomings. I’m also willing to be loyal to the citizens of Pontiac, and stand beside them. The American flag has changed the number of stars, but it still stands for the same freedoms, rights and opportunities. The insignia has changed, but those same GM employees are still producing good quality performance, just with a different insignia. Still, I do see your disappointment with GM. I’m choosing to look past my own disappointment with Pontiac’s demise and focus on the future of affordable performance from GM. I choose to believe that the Pontiac spirit carries on through the GM employees and I won’t turn my back on them.
