@HHRSS:
1. As a Pontiac loyalist, I have no intention of “stepping back and seeing what GM has ready for Buick.” I’m not a Buick loyalist.
2. I thank you for loving Pontiac. However, I’m not sure that GM was actually TRYING to fool anyone about what it had done to it. I think it was fairly common knowledge that Pontiac was a “fancy Chevy”; I certainly knew it. But it didn’t bother me; a Pontiac is a Pontiac. If the vehicle has Pontiac nameplates/insignia, it IS OFFICIALLY a Pontiac, isn’t it?
3. I’m glad that you own a Pontiac; so do I.
4. Yes, Pontiac IS gone, FOR NOW. Yes, it might NOT be coming back SOON. I do NOT agree that it will NEVER come back.
5. It was never suggested that GM can’t survive without Pontiac. I DO suggest that reviving Pontiac will bring MANY Pontiac loyalists back into the GM fold, as well as be a PR coup. I think it would be a major plus for GM, a coup.
6. I’m sorry that your grandparents have passed-away; so have mine. Yes, your grandparents are gone now, and aren’t coming back to this world. That’s because PEOPLE who have died CANNOT come back. CAR BRANDS that have died, CAN.
7. I’m all for Chevy, Buick, and Cadillac achieving the goals you mentioned, IF IT MEANS PONTIAC CAN RETURN.
8. Finally, it’s interesting that you mentioned BMW. How popular was Pontiac? It had roughly the same sales as BMW!
