shoulda ditched the vibe a long time. aint this the car that put GM where its at now? and this is the only crap they want to make as last year in business? I thought the G8 sales was off the charts. They can't be serioius, some HAS to be setting Pontiac up for failure. There's no way any decent person can actually believe that the vibe is going FTW.....The hell with GM then, they're worthless to me w/o Pontiac.
The 2010 model lineup for the soon-to-be-terminated Pontiac brand will consist of just one model - the Vibe.
Recently GM interim CEO Fritz Henderson reiterated the company's position that the G8 would not carry on as either a Buick, Chevy or Cadillac. The G3 and G5 will also cease production this year, while the G6 will only be made available to government, corporate and rental car fleets.
There has been no word lately on the Solstice model. GM had made it known that it would consider offers for the Solstice (as well as the Saturn Sky and Opel GT) as a separate entity, but with the sale of Saturn to Penske, that now seems unlikely.
In an effort to spice up sales of the final run of the Vibe, Pontiac will offer the car with air conditioning standard, and make it available in a new color - Ignition Orange.
GM's official line is that it wants to work with Toyota on a new vehicle to build at the joint GM-Toyota NUMI plant in California where sister cars the Vibe and Martix are produced, but our sources have indicated that GM wants out.
While the Vibe is a great car, we hope the sad irony of a vehicle built for utilitarian purposes being the last one offered by the company's performance brand is not lost on the folks at GM.
Did they mention a date when the 2009 production run will stop. Hate to see the end of the Pontiac. I have been thinking about another car in the very near future. Maybe in 2010. I will keep my GTO. Looked at the new Camaro and I was not impressed. Also took a look at the new Challanger. Dealers around here are asking $59,995 for the 6.1 version. For that price I would lock in a deal on a Vette instead
