Friends,
It looks like General Motors, in a last-ditch effort to extend their line of guvmint credit, have made the decision to kill Pontiac. “See! We’re really trying! …to completely ruin our company! Happy now?”
Luckily, there doesn’t seem to be a current Pontiac model (except the G8, oops) that’s actually unique in North America. Mom’s Pontiac Torrent, for example has sisters at the Chevrolet, GMC, Saturn and Suzuki dealerships. She’ll get parts during her government-sponsored warranty, and that’s good for all of us. No, really. You wouldn’t want to be on the wrong side of Mom and a warranty claim. If you’re Steve Rattner, the head of the President’s Automotive Task Force, you may be under investigation for your private equity shenanigans, but your secretary isn’t paid enough to deal with the angry phone calls should the Torrent have a misfire. Just sayin’.
But you cats are the best and brightest, right?
Right?
