You will still need an entry level car, and the Vibe will return with a new GM/Toyota platform. G6 will continue on to Epsilon II, which will have AWD ability as Epsilon will grow a bit in size to be a true mid-sizer and match teh size of the Altima, Accord, and Camry. Oshawa II, where they make the GP and LaCrosse, will close and combine with Oshawa I (Impala/MC) to which Zeta will be built. Zeta will have RWD/AWD ability as well. Now a GTO might not be in the making, but a coupe-like sedan could that would do both. Pontiac is looking at how the Charger is effecting the market, and maybe they could pull off something like that, and maybe latter if there is demand for it, a GTO could be spawned off. But Camaro is a go, Impala is a go, a larger RWD GP replacement is a go, and a large flag ship for Buick is ready, but might be built in low numbers down under.

The article also said Vibe and G6 would be gone, lol! This stuff seems to change everyday. And I know Motor Trend has made claims that are not always 100%. But I think a move to RWD for Pontiac, whether it's 50/50 or complete, is definitely a good idea. I did hear about Zeta being AWD capable...that should make the cars more marketable in areas with harsh winters, like here.
