If GM took the Corvette and stuck a Holden badge on it for sale down under, would you suddenly decide the resulting product was manufactured by Holden?
The 04-06s were imported and sold, but certainly not manufactured by Pontiac... That is a fact. You bring all the tooling over here to NA and assemble the cars with UAW employees, working on a Pontiac assembly line, wearing coveralls that say "PMD" on the pocket - THEN I might call it a Pontiac.

We could alter our spin all day long and argue semantics. You are saying it's not a Pontiac. I disagree because that's the dealer I bought it from and to recap GM + RWD + V8 + Midsize car = Pontiac GTO.
