@vosogo The Yugo had a reason to suck. it was an economy box! This was just a pure shitbox. They should have had the Firebird TransAm based on the new Camaro Zeta chassis or fuck even a new GTO or a modern Tempest! but a G8? 4door? Terrible! Pontiac should have just released a V8 S-10 as their flagship vehicle.
@vfIskullangel Yeah, the evo is a midlife crisis car. The only people who buy them do it because the giant wing and blue mudflaps are what the kids are into these days, and maybe it'll make them feel that young.
Pontiac was some good shit. At least they didn't die in vain, if you've been watching the news GM has made a huge recovery. Take one for the team and live on as a legend, I say.
If you want see Pontiac G8s come to Australia where there are thousands on the road. Because its actually the Australian built Holden Commodore, the best selling car in our country ; ).
It seems like they finally get the Pontiac line-up just right by focusing on cars that perform well and throwing out the BS minivans/SUVs that should have never been in the brand in the first place. And then they kill the brand. YET THEY KEPT BUICK?! (Not that Buicks are bad mind you, but I guess it's an unwillingness to consolidate them with Cadillac.) And they expect Pontiac fans to move to Chevy? Frankly I suspect this idea will fail as Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Hundai gain new customers.
with pontiac, (RIP), gone its like a slap to the muscle car community's face. hopefully as the economy keeps going up i hope GM reconsiders bringing them back because i love the G8 and the GTO.
We grew up with Pontiacs. When I was a boy with perhaps 7 years a neighbour here became a bit rich and then he got a Pontiac Bonneville Convertible . Metallic blue, all extras which were possible....
And NEW !
That was the greatest here at that time.
We had here cars which looked like 40s, at least in many parts here. The most European cars were totally uncool for us children...
That has just become my favorite car ad. Pure genius. Too bad I first saw this the week they announced Pontiac is being shut down. The idiotic part is, GM at present doesn't plan to rebrand any Pontiacs. They were at one point looking to replace the Impala with a rear drive platform to share with the Camaro's (which is the same as the G8s). HULLO. Introducing the 2011 Chevy Impala SS. What are they waiting for?!?!?
well done, Leo Burnett. thanks for the only tv spot that i've actually enjoyed over the past several years. by choosing to use audio samples from bot h the arcade and NES versions of the game, it's evident that alot of thought was put into the nostalgic appeal
One of the best commercials ever!

Finally, Pontiac builds the best car to come out of a North American auto manufacturer in the last 30 years, and they shut the whole division down!
Meanwhile, you see brand new Buicks in every retirement home parking lot...
No vision GM... No vision..
