Another One Bites The Dust
#
Another Pontiac is being discontinued, the Bonneville. Production ends this summer, and another Pontiac model fades into the sunset.
Sales have dropped dramatically, and it's not a model that I really care much about, but this is troubling for the performance division of GM. There is not a single Pontiac model that is exclusive to the division (the GTO is a version of Holden's Monaro), even the upcoming Solstice roadster. It seems like Pontiac is slowly being squeezed out of GM's lineup as Chevy takes on a more sporty demeanor (look at the Cobalt commercils for an example). If this continues Pontiac is in danger of becoming the next Mercury.
