The man should have been made CEO of GM 25 years ago. When Wagoner was elected.

Bob’s a phenomenal product guy. Can’t think of anyone better. Not certain I can say the same for his business leadership skills. A CEO needs to be strong in both areas. Of course he could and probably would have surrounded himself with a team that covered whatever weakness he may have had in that area. Rick was pretty much the opposite flavor. He did surround himself with product experts. Thing is he didn’t always listen to them <cough> SSR <cough>

Why does everyone harken to the 77 Trans Am "Bandit" car? Iconic yes, but no one uses the great looks of the 98 to 02 Trans Am WS6 with the aggressive Ram Air hood.

Don’t forget, Smokey was the #2 box office smash of 1977 right behind Star Wars. The Firebird/TA greatest sales years were the years following the movie. They couldn’t build 1977-79 models fast enough. Thats a big 10-4 good buddy

Ejecto seato on the EV's and start building vehicles based upon emission standards from 25 years ago. The environment would be fine and maybe American car companies would be able to build things the American public would like again.

There is not a logical business reason to revive Pontiac. Especially if whatever comes out of a Pontiac brand only serves to “borrow” sales from Chevrolet.

Thanks but I can't take the credit for this awesomeness. I borrowed it from a thread on the Pontiac G8 forum A member named Green Martian deserves the credit The words were mine though https://www.g8board.com/threads/make...90488/#replies I post as 102SSRS(my licence plate) over there someone already had that name when I registered here

Would it kill GM to bring back a $30k vehicle with a V8, a vehicle inspired by the Ripsaw, with packages to make angry plebs feel cool again? An actually secure console lockbox for a firearm. An optional mount for a holster on the center console? A keyed door and ignition? An HVAC vent aimed at the crotch? Some kind of removable roof panel. More firearm storage in the rear cargo/trunk area. Pre-wired for GMRS radio, with a spot for it. Optional sound system with a large sub under each seat, and an overhead sound bar that can be upgraded with aftermarket speaker sizes. Colors could be matte olive-drab, sand-tan, black, or stainless-look. I'm sure folks would spring for a digital camo option in green, gray, or blue, too. Make putting a front license plate on it impossible so people feel like they're subverting the law. There's this whole market out there for guys who need to look and feel tough and like they're non-conforming, and GM really doesn't touch on that. Probably because there's actually no money there, but still..y'all could try! It would be a good boost for Ms. Barra too...call it her idea. Instead of being framed as she currently is, maybe she could take on more of a sugar-momma in charge, image. Guys secretly like that too. |

LOL! I have to say though, not having a lock on the glovebox is one of the dumbest things GM has ever done. I dont get it. IMO, Pontiac catered to people with a bigger build. Seats in Chevy's were made for skinny people, Pontiac's had wide/flatter seats for fat people. |
