PontiacRulz, you’re chasing down a rumor and overhyping it. You’ve found a comment on GM’s FB page and are giving it far to much credit that it deserves.
Rumors are best though of as fragments of dust that can be ignored until you have to sweep them away. Pontiac’s return is just such a dustbunny behind the GM sofa in the corner of a massive room called the auto industry.
Nobody knows if there is any dust behind the GM sofa, and many people don’t care enough to look. And if there is, so what? Pontiac was such a crashing non-player in the auto industry. It didn’t scare any when Lutz said “America’s BMW”, and it’s going to be hard to make a business case for selling cars to the 20-something set who don’t have any money in the first place to buy performace cars.
Performance itself is something that doesn’t rate very high on their list of demands anyway. Afordability, fuel efficiency , safety do.
Guess which factors Pontiac didn’t have.
