The "Oldsmobile guy", had a "live preview" of what was coming for Pontiac. It was the same slow train wreck arriving just a little bit earlier that killed them off in 2004. The same type of mind set, (morons), that destroyed Oldsmobile, went right to work on Pontiac after killing off GM's second best division, (In My Opinion). What does GM have left? Chevy cheap crap. Buick for the over 90 crowd and Cadillac for people earning over $500,000.00 a year. Quite a portfolio.
