The poor economy claims another victim — GM has recently announced that they are currently working towards eliminating their Pontiac brand, a brand that has been around for a full 83 years. This means that the rumors we heard about a few days ago are true.
Recent buyers of a Pontiac automobile need not worry as exec Jim Hopson has said that the company will continue to function just as always even though they won’t within the next 5 years. He then went on to say that these automobiles will still be under warranty and that GM will continue to produce Pontiac parts.
Seeing the company that pushed out cars such at the GTO, Firebird, and Trans-Am die marks a sad day for American muscleheads everywhere.
