Rich Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Guess GTO owners will be getting their cars fixed at the Chevy garage. That's too bad. I owned a Pontiac GP and really liked the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loud Pedal Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 It's sad, the economy as a whole is just a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdutytd Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Well GM did have too many brands. Pontiac just wasn't one to keep. Ford IMO should get rid of Mercury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjwvette Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 So....who bought Saturn? GM is doomed:help: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Wonder if they can rebadge the G8 into something Chevy?? It'd be a shame to let such a great car die off... the rest of the pontiac line... meh... don't think I'll be losing much sleep over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM was already "rebadging" a Holden Commodore into a Pontiac G8.....so I don't see why not the same into a Chevy whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be a great car to inherit the Chevelle nameplate with some minor changes to the front and rear fascia IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 (edited) The G8 is a Lumina SS in the Middle East and a Vauxhal VXR8 in Britain and a Holden Commodore SS in AU and NZ. I heard Holden was hurting to though... Edited April 27, 2009 by Chewy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70'sChevyGirl Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 My husband is a bodyman at a Pontiac GMC dealership. In his profession and because he is certified in everything-he tells me not to sweat it. I don't because he is very talented and can fix a "train wreck"!!

AToth1 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 This makes me sad! Chevy would be stupid not to badge the G8, it is a beautiful car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ1o87 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Yeah from what I read Saturn is next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AToth1 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Yeah from what I read Saturn is next. Yea, that would make sense because IMO Saturn should have went before Pontiac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loud Pedal Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I know not long ago that the Saturn dealers were trying to come up with a plan to buy it. Not sure if they still are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ1o87 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Yea, that would make sense because IMO Saturn should have went before Pontiac. I agree, who the hell even buys a saturn? I rarely see them on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AToth1 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I agree, who the hell even buys a saturn? I rarely see them on the road. That is true, but I do see alot of Saturn Ions running around here, they must be relatively inexpensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdutytd Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I'm sorry but Saturn should have gone before Pontiac. Saturn vehicles are kind of a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
