Pontiac

It was a sad day for American car enthusiasts when GM announced that they would be killing off Pontiac. Ironically shortly after the announcement independent polls indicated that Pontiac had the most favorable image of any GM company.
In typical GM fashion, they had just started a revolution with some world beating product (G8 GXP anyone?) and then discontinued it. Wouldn't a Firebird have been better than a Camaro (if we could only have one)?

Well it's a long shot, but why not fight a bit to keep GM's best brand? Someone had the good sense to set up a "Save Pontiac" site, and includes a proposition and some text for a letter to Congress. Hey, the worst that can happen is it goes nowhere, or flops, and you end up right where we are today anyway but at least we tried! Check out
