Yea I always heard that Roger Smith was really the one to screw things up. He created the Saturn brand also, which should have never been created. Also when they changed to “GM engineering” like Alex mentioned, it really put Pontiac in a bad spot starting at that point. My whole thing is that I’ve grown up around Pontiacs and the brand means something to me. I grew up with my Gramps talking about how cool Pontiacs are. I look up to him a lot so I guess Pontiac is something that makes me think of my best bud, my Grandpa. It’s hard to say good bye to the brand but times change I guess 🙁
