Re: Who thinks it’s time to start talking about Pontiac again?

@Lex What would be the point of globalizing Holden when it makes all of 2.5 unique models? Outside the Caprice, Commodore + Ute, all of its other products are rebadged as Chevrolet everywhere else, including:

Cruze
Sonic (Barina Spark)
Spark
Malibu
Colorado
Trailblazer
Captiva (will become the next-gen Equinox)


@Moanalua
I would disagree that Pontiac was known as the excitement division. All of 2, maybe 3, of its late-model vehicles we’re exciting: GTO, G8, Solstice. The GTO went away, leaving the latter two. I don’t consider the craptastic G3, G5, or even the G6 as exciting. All of these could be bought as Chevys down the street. And the Solstice/Sky deserve to be a Chevy as well. That leaves one potential model — the G8 (and the Ute)… Is that worthy of its own brand?
