“Just build good affordable performace cars that arent rebadged! It’s so simple to make Pontiac cool and make it a viable brand again but all people want to say is that it’s not possible”
Well it isn’t. Rebadging/platform sharing is here to stay for ALL automakers, forever. It isn’t going to go away overnight because it conflicts with your worldview that involves bringing Pontiac back.
As for being affordable performance, the only way that’s going to work is hotted-up version of existing cars, specifically compacts as they would sell in larger numbers that could guarantee an ROI.
It worked with the Cobalt SS, but it could only work after GM sold tens of thousands of LT’s, LT’s, and LTZ’s.
