#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.

#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?

#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.

#8 When they killed Pontiac I scratched my head? WTF?

This explains a lot.

Can you imagine what a 2013 GTO would look like?

That's not merely a statement, it's a prognosis. :-(
