How GM Gets Its Groove Back

Sometimes the smarter you are the dumber you are. Getting rid of the Pontiac nameplate has to be the stupidest thing you have ever done. The history of the brand and the loyal followers has marked you as idiots for discontinuing one of the greatest automobiles ever produced, well above the quality of the Chevrolet. Shame on you. I own a 2006 Gran Prix from new, and let me tell you it is one fantastic automobile. Look on the internet and find out for yourself. Not all Pontiacs were great but the majority were. (GTO; Cattalina; Grand Prix; etc.
Please, bring back your prize possession.

Ok here is what buick needs!Bring the Grand National back with a series 3 3.8 turbo that smokes the Nissan Skyline GTR away! That will atract younger buyers Bring back the Riviera as it was seen at the auto show in China but offer option packages base 3.8 3800
stepup supercharged 3.8 3800 & then top of the line Turbo charged 3.8 & the buyers will come! great mpg & both cars in the past had reliable names!
Also drop those stupid names Lacurne & lacross you need the name plates back Lasabre & Park Avenue those saved your butts in the 90's & where also your most reliable cars ever made!
Chevy should just make trucks! Their cars lost their glory with last big body Impala! Ever since they have been totally cheap quality that showed inside & out! GMC trucks & SUV's only!
Caddy's are on point! Fresh style & great performance but over priced & to much compition in that price range from Europe i.e Benz,BMW You can by a Lexus or Infinity for cheaper then a Caddy!
Corvette & Camero are a stride that say GM still has it!
But GM has messed up!!
Pontiac has finally done it! The G8 I think GSX is one bad mother! Mind blowing performance! almsot 500hp & the car looks great inside & out! It's to bad! They finally nail the hammer on the head & they will be no more! But that has always been GM's down fall! They want to make! Wht they want to make & forget about the consumer! Oh wait the consumer keeps us open! OPPS

Unions are responsible for bringing the term "weekend" to the workplace,so next time you enjoy one why dont you jump in your KIA and try to drive to Korea!

GM stocks will go sky high after they learn that money is hard to get in the US these days, offering cars that are spacious inside, medium outside, with european styslish interior and slick inovative exteriors, with hibrid options throught the whole line. and affordable price tags, remember FIATs? "fixing again ted" Well they still running on the road with super nice small cars and a healthy company behind!!! Americans must learn that they are´t alone in the world and they are NOT simple the best! the are the last now...finally they leran that voting is as important as chosing their cars...remember George F... Bush?
Now is our turn to fix it!

I have owned nothing but GM cars and trucks for years. My hope is that GM will survive government meddling by bureaucrats who could hold no meaningful job outside of politics. (Yes, that includes the Prez.)

I would never again buy any Gm product after hearing about their employee's unions and leadership

I own a Chevy truck now, but will NEVER buy a vehicle from GM now that the federal government owns it, especially with an inexperienced 31-year-old grad student/Obama campaign-hack in charge.

The strategy of making products appealing to customers all around the word is not applied by the board of old GM, which , I believe is the critical problem underlying.
Good Luck, GM. We are looking forward to a brand new one.
