| 2013-10-28 |
| [JALOPNIK] When General Motors shut down Pontiac, it left a lot of enthusiasts wondering why. It was primed with a lineup of powerful, rear-wheel drive models, and seemed like it had a bright future ahead of it. It turns out that GM killed it on government orders, according to former GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz. |

| #8 When they killed Pontiac I scratched my head? WTF? This explains a lot. Can you imagine what a 2013 GTO would look like? |

| #6 Right on, Bill. If I could get a new GTO I just might consider GM for my next car purchase in spite of the bailout. Now I'm left to choose between Toyata and Nissan. They're almost as boring as Buick. |

| #5 So the wienies who couldn't get a date in high school took their revenge on the cool guy with the GTO? Amazing how small minded they are. I guess Pontiac's reputation for loud raucous fast roaring horsepower got under the skin of the envirowienies at the EPA? |

| #4 I don't mind investors making conditions. What I do mind is when those investors are politicians, because their decisions will be political. And FWIW, honoring the memory of Pontiac's Rebellion always struck me as in poor taste. |
