“What Pontiac loyalist need is a well formulated plan for bringing Pontiac back from the dead. Going around stomping your foot and demanding a Pontiac resurrection like a 6 year-old is not accomplishing anything.”
Xtactly. This is the kind of stuff that requires long hard thought to flesh out the challenges of returning Pontiac. I’m all for doing the math and finding out if it’s possible, provided we’ve done the work to find data that shows how from the day Pontiac was axed we could have a working business case for it to be brought back.
It’s not as simple as badge jobs and white-faced speedometers. It’s about trying to make the brand contribute to GM’s bottom line with captivating products that get lots of people buying, not just a handful who buy into the brand because of the name. You gotta make people want to have the Pontiac over the Chevy.
As for Firebird619’s woefully unsubstantated rumor of a defeated Obama serving as the linchpin of Pontiac’s return, I ask ‘did the same person who fed you that nonsense also tell you that the earth is the centre of the universe?’
