Pontiac went out of business with me in 2002 when they canceled the Firebird.

Lutz finished them of with his Holden imports. That bastard. The GTO was 'One Ugly Mother f@#ker,' to quote Arnold from "Predator."

its a sad situation indeed, but more will follow if foreign companies are allowed to further dominate our country. look around. theyre killing us off internally. once the economy totally collapses, we're all screwed. and toyota, honda, etc... will become even more dominating. we can thank all these people driving around in their little eclipses and civics and thinking they've got a hot rod for this continuing downward spiral we're heading in. i just hope this new camaro does well so it doesnt get phased out again!!!

This is the most depressing day since I lost my job almost two months ago. What about oem parts, finish off whats on the shelf and thats that.

Why not drop Buick in the US (noone would notice) but keep it as a Chinese only brand like Holden in Austrailia or Vauxhaul in Europe and killoff Saturn all together?

**Y2KPewterSS** · 04-24-2009, 06:17 PM

The only thing I am surprised about is that it took this long for it to become official.

**02transamce** · 04-24-2009, 06:33 PM

www.torquereport.com saw the headline about pontiac's death as soon as monday this morning.

**Mr. Luos** · 04-24-2009, 06:35 PM

I could care less.

**02transamce** · 04-24-2009, 07:17 PM

so will this end the "firebird is coming back" debate?

Lots of people had hopes....

But that has been dead for well over a year.

I don't think it was ever a debate. More like wishful thinking and hanging on to a dream.............

**cobrakiller99** · 04-24-2009, 08:09 PM

yup, our cars just went up in value.

Really doubt this.

Maybe the parts to fix them will go up....

i assumed parts were always expensive. but i doubt the performance mods will go up maybe like bumper and etc. why dont you think our car value will go up Luos?
