Wow...

I wonder if the Pontiac brand was doing well in the states??

Pontiac was popular with rental car companies, and old timers. in the 90's besides that it was rubbish

the last decent Pontiac was in the 60-70's,( the Adelaide built car was the best build quality by far)

shame to loose the oz ,local jobs but they did it to themselves, GM just didnt look into the worlds economy and driving factors of smaller cars, they kept building massive fuel guzzlers for soccer moms. now Detroit,Michigan is a ghost town compared to the past.

agree Buick needs to go too, caddy too, just make it one company to reduce the exec overheads,

I'm glad I moved to Oz and not stuck in USA , I feel for my family and friends back there and I'm sure Oz is still in store for more $$$ depression coming soon

you would be mistaken to think its going to get better in a few months...lol

but its a real wakeup call to the world

( the Adelaide built car was the best build quality by far)

Geez.... the US built ones must have been shit heaps then! :P

Holden at Elizabeth haven't been making large numbers of the G8 for last few months anyhow, still any market lost is a huge deal for manufacturing jobs here in Aus

seems companies are using any excuse they can get their hands on to lay off jobs at the moment

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
