Will Pontiac’s G8 Survive?
There have been rumors that the Pontiac G8 is all but dead, along with the rest of GM’s make. But new rumors suggest G8 may live on. It seems General Motors can’t make up their mind about the ride – originally CEO Fritz Henderson said there was “no chance” Pontiac’s G8 will be rebranded – but now Automotive News reported GM’s Tom Stephens said the G8 “might survive with another GM badge.”
It would be great to see the 2009 Pontiac G8 continue as a Chevrolet sedan or sports car – maybe even a Buick! A flashier ride modeled off of G8 could be a rebirth of excitement with the Buick tag.
But with the US Economy heading straight down the crapper (still) we don’t see either brand heading into production with another sedan, especially when smaller, greener cars are the way to go these days. But we can hope there is still a chance G8 can make it as another GM brand.
