@Brian_E wow, those are some great points. @Moanalua’s “economic sanctions” argument doesn’t hold because plenty of others have already imposed those same sanctions on Pontiac before its demise, by not buying Pontiac that is. And many more will give Chevy their business thanks to the fact that they’re making best in class vehicles, therefore imposing economic sanctions on other brands; but something tells me that plenty more people will buy a modern day Chevy than the “few” that have tried will be lost by dropping Pontiac. In effect, a net gain in sales and product quality/content.

But what I’ve quickly learned is that one can’t bring valid points when speaking to Pontiac loyalists… Since they’ll either be ignored or, worse, others will state that it’s their “opinion” and that it doesn’t matter.

I’ve never owned a Pontiac, but I’m loving my 2010 Camaro SS. There’s nothing that Chevy can’t do that Pontiac could.

PS: the poll and its results aren’t really statistically sound, due to various reasons too lengthy for this topic. But even if the poll was set up correctly, then it wouldn’t mean much without a true representative sample… All we have now is the high possibility that more Pontiac crazies have voted than those who simply don’t care about the brand and its resurrection.
