Yeah you think they would have sent something cool down the line like a G8 at least. Sure someone would have waited to have that be the last car.
Probably some bean counter at CHEVY sticking it to the Pontiac guys one last time.
I won’t own a Chevy after all the times the screwed US Pontiac owners holding stuff back so we didn’t compete w the camaro POS or the corvette . Honestly pathetic.
I own a Tesla though because it’s just like a Pontiac IMO it’s the underdog. May not thinks o these days because it’s doing well but it was BROKE at one time and it’s beat all odds even some A hole working for them and stealing their designs. (Fisker) it’s an interesting story. I think Pontiac guys would like it And I’m no greenie these cars aren’t exactly carbon neutral they use more carbon to build than a gas car and take 20 years of use to be greener . But they are awesome cars I think any Pontiac guy would like them.

I know a lot of people on this forum think Pontiac ended in 1981 but there were some cars being made that my wife and I really liked. She had a 1986 Pontiac 6000 STE, she really liked a lot. She had a 2008 Pontiac G6 V6 GT 4 door. She said after the Trailblazers we had in the 2002–2009-time frame, that was one of her favorite cars. I loved my 1986 Grand Prix and our 3 Fiero's. All of them would have been better with a real Pontiac V8 but they still had that "Pontiac" styling, handling and performance. I enjoyed driving them all. They definitely all had more style than their GM cousins.
