    Default GM closing pontiac?

    Hey most of you probably already knew this, but I just saw it this morning in the news. That GM is closing pontiac. I've only heard that they would close saturn, but not pontiac.

    That sucks for me, my family has always owned a pontiac ever since I was little, we had a 77 Trans Am back then, I owned one too and I moved to GPs in the last few years. I was also looking forward to see the new Firebird / Trans AM.

    I just bought my GTP, but not sure what will my next car will be now D= I don't really like the rest of the GM brands much, atleast not enough to own one except for the corvette. Guess it will have to be a vette...

    I think it's because they don't sell as much as the other brands, especailly over seas.

    Subies hold up amazingly, what are you talking about? Try getting tearing the engine apart on an engine stand and then tell me they will break.... Go on try it, I will bet you that you can't do it with two people holding it from moving

    I thought I read somewhere they were going to keep some pontiac models, but roll them over to Buick, so they will still be a pontiac, but with Buick logos?
