Pontiac should have been axed long long time ago. GM sucks. They deserve to go backrupt.”

WADR you are an a gleaming example of what is terribly wrong with this country.

Any idea how many people will lose thier jobs when GM goes belly up? ANy idea how many pensions GM supports? (490,000). Any idea who gets to support those people out of work and pick up the retirement needs? (you do).

Have you ever owned a Pontiac? I have a relative with one and it’s stellar. I owned two when I was younger and loved them. Perfect fit for the young boy racer crowd Pontiacs are targeted to, reliable, fast, inexpensive and economical.

GM…100 years of providing hundreds of thousands of good paying jobs with benefits to Americans and in some weird, twisted, perversion of sanity throngs of lemming Americans chant “death to GM”.

Your Japanese corporate masters have achieved full control of your little mind. Enjoy your Honda and…….. super high taxes to cover those who will be tossed out of work when your wish is granted, and the inevitable unemployment that will reach you and your job about the time you realize that a country who does not support itself and defend its jobs will die, and a country without a healthy, vibrant and growing manufacturing base is destined to send its money to the countries that DO manufacture stuff.

Rt 66, I see you’re not a subscriber to that Adam Smith ‘invisible hand’ thing, are you? Perhaps you’d approve of each person having to supply all their own goods and services? Or would you allow it to extend out to family? (I hope you have a good farm and farmer in your family.) Or should we just cut off the trading at our borders, because splitting up tasks between us and those damn untrustworthy foreigners just isn’t worth any benefits we might get?

I stopped considering US makers for my own car purchases because they consistently lost to Toyota and Honda and others on the things I cared about the most – reliability and practicality. Toyota and Honda beat the domestic makers by a margin consistently for at least 20 years, and that is paying off. Now the US makers need to beat the competition on quality by a good margin for 10 years minimum, and then I’ll start to look at their offerings. In the meanwhile, they can focus on winning through gimmicks and marketing and subsidies, and a few narrow hits, and I’ll let others buy for all that. Toyota and Honda didn’t just show up on the shores of the US with the unfair advantage of a good reputation for value and quality – they earned it slowly by providing the value and quality consistently over decades.

The G8 GXP is a nice car. I see a guy driving a red one around UTC pretty often when I’m coming home from work and it’s one of the few domestic cars that I’ve seen in a while that I would actually think about buying.

Too bad dealers aren’t budging on the price. I would think about picking one up for low $20s as well. Then again I don’t really need a 4000 lb. family sedan right now either.

Also with Pontiac going belly up I assume they’re going to shut down all the dealerships. Where would you take a Pontiac for factory service? Are other GM dealerships going to start serving Pontiacs?

Seems like Hertz put in a G6 while on travel this past week? Pretty nice ride if you ask me. The only thing I hated (common amongst rentals) was not being able to adjust the steering up around my muscular (fat) leg when getting in.
