I wonder what's next? Hummer? Saab? Saturn? GM as a whole?

Haven't they all died due to freak engine fires? :)

I was expecting Hummer, not this.

hummers sales are soaring...oddly.

Being one of the few Pontiac owners on here, i'm kind of sad about this. Seeing that people are going to lose their jobs. Although GM as a whole is going to file for bankruptcy here soon anyway.

Wider apparently isn't better.

Sad to see the perishment of an American icon who continues to break away from the norm, but this has been expected for a number of months now. OP, you ask who's next? Probably the company as a whole.

This isn't that surprising. It was only maybe 5-6 years ago they were talking about dropping Pontiac and Buick, then they released the Holden Monaro... oh sorry I mean "GTO" and the dumbed down Opel Speedster, there I go again, the Solstice, which drove sales up enough to keep the brand going. Pontiac was guaranteed to be the first to drop.

It seriously isnt surprising. Exactly though, how long till the others follow Pontiac fate.

Buick being popular in china? how to rune a product as if it wasnt already.....

You get what you got coming...!

[Tree18is]

the g8 and gto are way bad ass. so there not all that bad. what the hell are you suppose to do for the parts for those vehicles.

[87e30]

The G8. What about all of those out there... you just... hope they don't break?

[Farbin Kaiber]

When an automaker goes belly-up, they make parts for ~10 years after their demise. See Daewoo.
