@Grawdaddy: Well, that certainly is a possibility. But I WILL say this: IF Pontiac should return, I suspect that many of those folks will spring for a Pontiac dealer. I think it was on THIS thread (I’m on so many Pontiac-related threads, I lose track) that I posited that not EVERY potential Pontiac customer is a DIE-HARD loyalist of the brand. Pontiac had all sorts of customers: Some liked the brand–that’s why they BOUGHT one–but not enough to stay active on threads like this. Still other Pontiac customers never bothered to join a thread at all. Then there are the diehards like PontiacRulz and I, and still others that fall somewhere BETWEEN those three types. Bottom line: They ALL purchased Pontiacs. There’s a difference between losing interest–and “simply stopping caring”–about staying active on Pontiac-related THREADS, and losing interest and simply stopping caring about Pontiac THE BRAND. In Economics, we could say that a “multiplier” should be applied to all those Pontiac-related websites. I.e., the folks on those threads represent but a SMALL FRACTION of folks who WOULD INDEED purchase a new Pontiac–for WHATEVER reasons–should the brand be revived.
But you’re right, we DO have all the time in the world, and time WILL tell whether Pontiac returns.
