Just read an article on allpar that GM has released a statement that says they have not killed the Pontiac brand...."Contrary to media speculation, General Motors has not announced any changes to its long term viability plan or to the future status of any of its brands.GM is continuingto review itsrestructuring plan to go further and faster and best ensure its future success. Additional information will be released as any decisions are finalized."Wow....the GM spin doctors seem to be a little upset that the new got out so soon...

It is really sad....out here in sunny California...we have been loosing a lot of dealers...the ones that are hit hardest are larger dealers by a metro area....the ones I have noticed most are Chrysler Jeep Dodge and the Buick Pontiac GMC stores.........I know Ford has lost some, but these Chrysler and GM stores have lost more stores....at this rate I do wonder how long the GMC franchise will be viable....around here the GMC store outsells Chevy in trucks and there is truck loyalty....but I do think most would be loyal to GM and get a Chevy truck instead of going to a Dodge or Ford...and probably would not consider a Toyota/Nissan....
