It's a step in the right direction, but we're not there yet. It's successful at attracting customers in going to a Pontiac dealership, but I'm sure the next minute when the customer sees a Wave or Pursuit sitting in the showroom they'll just undoubtedly think: "It's just a Chevy with a pig's nose" and leave.
And sadly, BV was right last time when he said my G6 is a Camry wannabe. This needs to stop.
Yes, the Solstice is great value for a two-seater, but I have to have a primary car before I can have one! They need better higher volume products, but here, higher I don't mean high as rebranded Chevies, but something really unique. Something like: "A 3-series for G6 money" type of car. The G5 is NOT what Pontiac needs.
The idea of having Pontiac being the poor man's BMW isn't bad. Take the lower fraction of the BMW's lineup and that could very possibly be Pontiac's needs. Heck, even if Pontiac's lineup look like Mazda's, that would be nice as well. But don't forget Pontiac is with Buick and GMC now. So the lower fraction is well enough. Leave Buick and GMC to the upper section and trucks.
But see a pattern here? BMW and Mazda to an extent are PERFORMANCE brands. Well, not quite Mazda, but they are trying. And this is the image what Pontiac needs, minus the quality of the old BMW and old Mazda.
I'm a little off topic here, but this is what I think Pontiac needs.
