What (not sure you do or not) most people do not realize is these cars did not start out to be "muscle cars". They became what people made them out to be. Car comanies like Pontiac need more reagular cars to support one or maybe two performance cars.
Unfortunately I agree with the statements that Pontiac has been dead for quite some time. Gm really has been competing with its self with the re-badging off other platforms Pontiac hasnt been showing any excitement for a while, really the only thing they got from rebadging were some luxury upgrades that were standard that may have been upgrades on other vehicles.

I for one will TRUELY miss Pontiac as an owner of 4 of them and wanting at least 2 of the current/upcoming vehicles.
