@PontiacRulz: Nice to hear from you again! How are you? You last post was over two months ago, but I’d like to commend you again for STARTING this thread over two years ago. The last person to post before me, posted only 5 days ago, and his post was positive, agreeing that Pontiac SHOULD return. After over two years, I still agree.
@EvanR: I agree with you that a revived Pontiac shouldn’t HAVE to be a full-on performance brand. For me, a Pontiac is a Pontiac, whether it’s a full-on musclecar like the GTO, or a regular vehicle like the G6. I’d also like to commend you for your extensive list of vehicles that a revived Pontiac could offer, accompanied by details such as engine offerings and how those Pontiac models might compare to models offered by other brands. GM’s front office ought to at least consider your post as a start, and if they want, they can create their own ideas for a revived Pontiac.
@tjkroeker: You’re the person who posted just 5 days ago. I’m a sentimental type of guy, too, and my sentiments revolve around the Pontiac brand. It was my parents’ first new car, and each and every vehicle I have ever owned–including the one I own now–has been a Pontiac. Indeed the ideas you shared in YOUR post would ALSO be a good start, like EvanR’s. I agree that the recent GTO wasn’t much in terms of styling, but that car could FLY, and that’s the MAIN thing for a musclecar. In terms of performance, I think the recent GTO does the earlier GTOs proud. (By the way, I myself have owned 5 GTOs in the past: A ’67, a’68, a ’69, and two ’70s).
I hope all of you–and others who posted on this thread over the past two years, supporting a return of Pontiac–CONTINUE pushing for Pontiac’s return. As Carly Simon famously sang some 40 years ago: It’s “the right thing to do.”
