Before this goes quazi political, Pontiac's death was decided in 2007, with an eventual wind down by 2013-14.

Why then did they make the G8 a Pontiac, when they knew it was going down? I know it was never planned to be a long production car, but they could have easily made it a Chevy or a Buick and improved brand image.
