@moanalua It’s the same questions we’ve discussed here before that will need to be answered:
1. Who will buy Pontiacs
2. Will it be enough to make financial sense (a profit)
3. How will Pontiac be different than Chevy vehicles?
In its last incarnation, Pontiac didn’t offer much differentiation between its Chevy counterparts. In fact, most Pontiacs were plain-on Chevy rebadges, with the exception of Solstice, GTO, G8 — and there is a good argument to be made that the Solstice and G8 would have been better off as Chevys. The new GM — feds or no feds — will not do anything to in any way compromise Chevy’s mass-market appeal. So the question remains — how will Pontiac be any different?
