@PontiacRulz:

And you thought you could keep me out of “your thread”.

Then again, you are 19, so your understanding of the cruelties of life, the vast array of human frailities, and the cut-throat nature of business are not yet fully undertood.

If your understanding is of “Chevy vs. Pontiac”, then you are missing AND ignoring the bigger picture; the bigger picture being of how insignificant Pontiac is and how unworkable it’s outdated business plan was.

Inter-brand rivalries as you think they exist simply don’t exist. If you still think that such rivalry exists within GM, then perhaps it’s better to let you tell yourself your own appealing, self-satisfying lies. Heck, if the “rivalry” helps you sleep at night, along with your windsheild banner, who’s to stop you from beliving whatever nonsense you want to belive?

As for my age, I really don’t think it lends value to the conversation. If it helps, yes, I’m older. But even at your age, I knew Pontiac and every other GM brand was just a thin veneer that didn’t offer a single ounce of respectibility in the global automotive industry.

It’s just a damn shame that you’ve invested so much emotional effort into something so vacious that you’re willing to defend and oversell it in an vain attempt to validate your beliefs.
