exactly! What other car in the pontiac line-up is exclusive to pontiac?

Once Saturn is gone it will have the Solstice.
(Actually the Solstice came first.)

And if they keep Pontiac then maybe they would re-consider the G8-ST. I mean GM spent gobs of money to make left hand drive cars at Holden, Why not take advantage of the Holden car line? At least they would be unique cars in the U.S.

the market already voted with each pontiac purchase being a signature. there weren't enough at the end of the day.

If that were really the case, Why is it last year Pontiac was the #3 best selling product line? It out-sold Buick almost 2 to 1!
Why is it The Solstice out-sold Saturn Sky for the past 3 years?
Since 2006 the Solstice has sold almost 48K cars and the Sky only sold 29K cars.
Buick Enclave sold 29K vehicles and Pontiac Torrent sold 32K vehicles.

The argument that Buick is popular in China is fine, But one must remember that Buicks for China are made in Asia. It's not the american version they are buying.

2008 U.S. sales figures: (Brand # sold)
Chevrolet 1.8 million
GMC 376,000
Pontiac 267,000
Saturn 188,000
Cadillac 161,000
Buick 137,000
Hummer 27,000
Saab 21,000

if that weren't really the case, they wouldn't be hitting the chopping block wood they?

if they sold 267,000 cars in 2008 and and they lost $10 for each car they sold they are in the shitter. if they made $10 for each car they sold and lost $11 for each investment they made they are in the shitter. etc. business is not about making sales, it's about making profits.
