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

I got my driver’s license way back in 1975 driving my mother’s midnight blue ’65 Pontiac Catalina Ventura coupe. I loved that car… and I’ve had 5 Pontiac’s in the past 37 years. I was very angry that GM kept GMC trucks ( nothing but a re-badged Chevy truck) and dumped Pontiac. GM got this way after decades of neglect to their car lines and dismantling the old Alfred Sloan model. When they started making all their brands look alike and kept ignoring the Japanese cars… well… they became the victim of resting on their laurels. I have no inclination on buying a new GM product. If they can bring back Pontiac and make it more than just a re-badged Chevy… then bully for them. But until I see a prototype at a car show… or a car magazine…. I’ll be whistling thru the graveyard of other dead marques.
