PONTIAC - Poor Old N**ga Thinks Its A Cadillacskype: romeobluComment

If the cars weren't pieces of shit they would still be around. The US needs to make better cars to be competitive. On Fox (or maybe CNN) a lobbyist for the automakers was trying to rally people to buy American, without giving a reason why besides "support America".
Build better cars.Comment

Four years ago we leased a pair of Pontiac Pursuits (later renamed to G5 and Cobalt under different divisions). They were supposed to replace the Pontiac Sunfire line.
We could write a lengthy novel on the endless troubles we've had with both vehicles. I've spoken with a lot of other Pursuit/G5 owners in the past few years and nearly every one told similiar stories of woe. The main complaint has been a major rattle in the front end which GM never found a permanent solution for.
The G6 series also had similiar poor workmanship - again, with front end rattles.
We ain't sorry to see Pontiac die off. Shit cars. Its turned us off GM products altogether.Comment

Didn't they just get a huge bail out?

Biggest mistake was renaming the Grand Am the G6. The Grand Am was their bread and butter car. It was like if Honda renamed the Accord or Toyota changed the name of the Camry. Not sure what the thinking behind that was.jim (at) amateursconvert . com Amateurs ConvertComment

That joke is only good when we are at times of real and true WAR....
drugs, terror, poverty...etc, etc are not "real" wars they are only something to distract you from the real problems....just go down to your local retirement home and ask someone in their 90?s what they had to endure during the ?great depression? and WW2.....soup lines and ration books from food to gas.......
That was when people actually felt proud to "Buy American"....now it is merely a talking point of a sound byte from a talking head.....

by the way....come to Florida......and you will find out why Buick is still going to be around....9/10 geriatrics who cant afford Cadillac’s or don’t want to be too "flashy" buy that GM nameplate. Now since everyone’s credit is in the shitter the last remaining folks that can afford to buy and not just solely on credit are the q-tips.
and they have what GM needs most right now brand loyalty.Comment

When I lived in Puerto Rico, I rented a Chevy Cobalt for like seven months....the front end was ass....Even the smallest speed bump, you had to hit it at like a half a mile per hour or you would hear it scrape on the street...........I drove it to the beach once and some rock that wasn't even high up off of the ground ripped the whole plastic lining cover off of the bottom of the front end and I just left it there...Fuck it.Comment
