yea definitely is, but he made a good point that pontiac kinda fell in to the background over the last 10 years. No real cars stood out ---

No real cars stood out yah they made a attempt back with the Solstice, GTO’s and now the G8’s…you dont really see any of them honestly. I wonder if this is going to hurt the value or raise it of the GTO’s and trans am’s/firehawk’s etc. ---

The G8 is really, really nice, a better interior than anything GM has turned out in recent memory and with stellar driving dynamics, it’s a more satisfying drive than the first-gen CTS-V. Hopefully, that and the Solstice will be the models that survive, but I’m not holding my breath. ---

The GTO’s interiors are awesome too I thought…and for being a 4000lb boat, they handle pretty damn well ---

I think GM has to supply parts for 10 years or something. My dad got parts at Otto last year for his '97 Olds. ---

Just about all the dirty parts are interchangeable across GM model lines so I wouldn’t worry about anything for a Pontiac. Saturn parts, eeeeep. Perhaps Rubbermaid will pick up the molds. ---

:lol ^ Good to see ya, haven’t seen you post in a while. G8, Solstice and GTO are the only things worth crying over from Pontiac in the last ~20 years, and those all models have only been recently added from Holden, so technically weren’t made _for_ the brand, but rather rebadged. I wouldn’t worry about OEM part replacement, if the cars are made and bought, there will be demand for those parts and where there is demand, there is supply. The fact that no more will be made doesn’t really change anything. To an OEM replacement part manufacturer them going out of business is no different then Honda changing their civic model. ---
