This one shows the rise and fall of Pontiac.
One note: GM has or is about to sell the cars they discontinued except for Pontiac. Pontiac is not for sale. I'm assuming and hoping maybe when GM gets profitable again, the nameplate may rise again. I've read that in a few magazine articles already.

Thanx for posting it. I love it.

As for Pontiac comming back, though I would LOVE to see that happening, but chances are pretty slim, since I know it will cost GM even more money to bring a dead brand back, they will also have to train new people(that will also cost them money), re-tool and/or build more plants(also cost money), deal the lawsuit(if there's going to be any) with the Pontiac dealers that closed down because of the decision and whatnot. It will take a LOT of headaches to bring the brand back once it dies. Plus of course, I don't see Oldsmobile comming back any time soon, so it could just be us, Pontiac Fans dreaming about it. I don't think it will happen, though it will be SUPER if Pontiac comes back to its loving hearts of us Pontiac fans when the dwindling economy comes back to normal.....

I do hope Pontiac returns soon sometimes but I don't see that much chance of it happening. Well, let's cross our fingers, so that in few years after Pontiac dies, GM realizes how stupid their idea was killing the 3rd best selling brand and bring back the once great performance brand and give the brand the well-deserved attention and money to turn it back which it was known for.

Well, we'll wait and see. But for the time being, all we can hope for is to GM to change their decision and NOT killing Pontiac afterall after 2010 model year. To my best knowlege, I heard that GM ALMOST killed Pontiac in the way past once, but the sales were so good they had to change their mind. Let's hope the miracle like that happens so we can actually wait for the cars like Firebird, American Legend G.T.O, Grand Prix and others to have some chance to return in the near future, and to continue to see their wild, outrage concepts to grace the Auto Show floors like they have in the past.

Well, they started Saturn up from scratch, Pontiac would be alot easier (to bring back) since the dealer network would still be around. ie: Buick, GMC.
Thinking positive can't hurt.
