Title: 1926-2010
Post by: waspy on 30 April 2009, 20:59:08
This is a sad post for me :'( :( Pontiac are to be no more come 2010.
The brand will come to an end :'( :'( :'(
I love my Trans-Am's & i've had a few & so the Pontiac name has a special place in my heart.
GM are going to keep other brands alive (though for how long).
Who will be next- Vauxhall, Opel :-/ :-?
I believe that soon we will have hardly any car production in this country :( I've been to Gloucester today for a Winch repair & all i've seen is a sea of Audi's, BMW's, Merc's & a brand i really can't stomach= VW >:( >:( >:(

My moan is at an end :-X :-X

Can't stand any of those cars.

Allways loved the look of the Trans Am, my dream one would be a 77 gold limited edition. Only ever seen 2, and that was on the television but boy they look good.

Have seen a couple of these up close and they are amazing.

Trans ams, are strangly not that rare over here :-? :-?  

I guess with our motor tax rates, just buying a classic car with a huge engine is quite popular ;D

My idea of a proper grown up car, not a car with a tiny engine like an omega, would be a firebird :P :P

Just to get your thought processes going, i've had a 4.9 Turbo & a 5.7 GTA. The 4.9 was a Nascar Pace Car Ltd Ed in white. The GTA was hold on to ass cause we're going fast ;D :) :) :) It was a tuned engine :P Oh & it didn't have any mufflers on the exhaust, almost a straight through 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

i am sooooo jealeous.

i have been out and about today and proved to an Aston martin DB7 that half the cylders and half the capacity aint only going to mange 50% of the DB7's performance.  It sound so nice on full revs as he pulled away from me, but no where as nice as a well sorted V8 yank.  ::) ::):'( :'(

First thing I think of with Pontiac is the Trans Am, as used in Smokey and the Bandit

Loved that car !!!!

Yep, its a sad sad passing and again shows how blinded people are when choosing a car just as a badge.......I hate BMWs, Mercs, VWs and especially Audis and you wouldnt see me ever flashing any out in front of me..........EVER !!!!

RIP Pontiac

RIP Pontiac

A mate in collage said that he hoped to get a beemer after passing his test, I asked him why and he said that there great cars, I asked what makes them so great and he said they just are. :( :(

All he wants is a 1.6 3 series

No wonder there's no good cars anymore :( :(

The only GREAT car they ever did was the 635CSi, 1989 model year.

How can a 1.6 3 series ever be great............????

Driven by arrogant nobs, sorry but in my own opinion, true !!!
