GM

[Kopfjäger]

to an extent, you are correct.

however, it isn't that much of a stretch to say that more of the technology of the Brumos (particularly the engine) is on an every day Porsche than what would carry over from the Gainsco Pontiac to a daily driver from them.

The engine in the Gainsco car is a 305cubic inch Pontiac V8.

The Pontiac G8GXP from the factory comes with a 415hp 415fp tourque 6 speed manual or auto trans.

I heard GM will only be marketing four makes in the future (Chevy, GMC, Cadillac and POSSIBLY Buick). That was on NPR two months ago. Things change daily and who knows if that's still the plan. Shutting down Saturn would be a bummer - that's a product line that had been really doing well when it was just the SL-1 and SL-2 sedans.

Rumor is that Saturn will be sold, and will continue production with new ownership. Same goes for Hummer.

I heard Buick is staying because they sell a boat load of them to the Chinese. American stuff is considered high quality in China and Buick is there fave car.

I never understood the whole Chevy/GMC thing, talk about insane redundancy

Dumping Pontiac is kind of a surprise, since that division's cars always appealed to me more than any other (G8GT in particular).

So, if Pontiac is dead, and GM begins to make some form of recovery, can there be hope for a new Buick Grand National? That would be cool.

Although that would be cool, I don't really think that car would appeal to the masses, which is something GM is lacking these days.

Kinda reminds me of the '63-67 Stingray from this angle.

pretty sad....

between the G8 and the solstice, they were starting to make some cars I would be willing to buy again



+1 on dumping GMC instead....I don't understand that whole deal

it's not like those cars won't be sold w/ a bowtie on 'em, instead.

Solstice will just remain the Saturn Sky or whatever its called.

They will make what their new owners tell them to make...Federal Government will, most likely, have a greater than 50% stake in the company. 

GM is trading at just about $2; sad to remember when it was over $40.
