GM to kill Pontiac on Monday: Pontiac Is Dead

I've been saying it for years and it finally took them this long to do it.

I still think you're a GM fanboy, nobody in his right mind would defend such a company except for fanboys. I can't say I'm a Toyota fan at all, however, so much as someone who just wants idiots like you to get their facts straight.

:erm: You've claimed that "nobody wants GM cars" when they sold over 8 million units; that toyota "crushed GM for quite some time now" when they [finally] beat them by only a few percent (and they won by default, merely 'failing less' in a bad economy and after GM intentionally cut fleet sales); and you tried to prove a point by arbitrarily picking one GM brand and pointing out that Toyota outsold that brand.
Who needs to get their facts straight?

You sound like a lunatic.

Isn't the number of cars GM sells a bad indicator though? They make like a billion different kinds.

I'll say I don't know much about the industry though so people don't start yelling at me.

Basically they sold all the cars the world bought a long time ago. Now they sell a tiny percentage of the market's vehicles, and that number continues to shrink.

GM and Chrysler are done. They are on their last legs like a past its prime boxer, like when a senile Ali got slaughtered by Larry Holmes.
