You know honestly pontiac brand has been dead for sometime now. Kill the flag ship(firebird). Then replace it with the girlie GTO personally I am glad they stopped making pontiacs... Go to any pontiac dealership a year ago you saw nothing to appeal to the muscle based crowd. If you want a grocery getter great. You want a cobalt with a V-8 buy the gto. It sucks but they lost me when the last firebird roled off the line. I wasn't happy with the chevy powerplant based firebird but at least it had some styling. Thank you pontiac for making real cars 32 years ago. 1978 was the last year for me for pontiacs. I have owned many firebird-transams from a 67 bird to the 2002 trans am I owned 5 years ago. Never bought a new pontiac only because my finances never allowed it. But the 02TA was only 2years old when I bought it. Sorry I know I am rambling... Anyways hope if they bring back pontiac they take a different approach than what led to it's downfall this time but I believe we have lost the pontiac name forever. All we have is what we as collectors perserve.
