Bob Lutz Explains Why The Pontiac GTO Failed
And that is what is going to kill this car, that and the facts of limited supply and high gas prices. People will be put off by it's looks, just as many on this forum are. Dealers will mark this car up, just as they did the GTO. Gasoline is expected to be over 4 bucks a gallon by summer, God knows where the price will be in Jan 08, if it's a cold winter and heating oil is in short supply when this car debuts. And BV, How do you classify World Class? A number of 05 and 06 GTOs have had pistons missing from their engines, from brand new cars no less. Yet Holden shipped them anyway, did they push them onto the ships to get them here just to meet their quotas set by GM? I know of four cases of this in just the Mid Atlantic area alone. I'm afraid ocnblu, your fears about Pontiac being killed off will become true, what's odd about that is, it will be Lutz the car guy, that killed it off. I'm getting my popcorn out, because the G8 show is about to start. I'm going to sit back and watch it all play out, it should be great fun to watch at least for me, It's a win/win situation for me. If Lutz is right, Pontiac will live to see another day, if Lutz is wrong, he will be forced to retire or be dismissed altogether and Holden will be lucky if it's allowed to set direction for itself let alone all of GM. I can't wait for the fun to begin. Come on Jan 08!

Saturn to get new Vectra Wagon for '09
No one hated Saturn more than I. They came to Wilmington, took the GM sign down and put up the Saturn sign. They gutted the computer systems that GM used and at that time, tried to run an Assembly plant using Windows NT, I still laugh about that. It failed as expected. They told Wilmington assembly employees that even though Wilmington had been building cars for 50 years, they didn't know what they were doing. I still laugh about that too. I was in meetings with Saturn big wigs in Springhill where they actually thought they would transform GM into their own image. That was the 1st time I spoke up and told Saturn you will be assimilated by GM in the end, they all laughed and said that would never happen. But I saw signs, little ones at 1st and they became bigger as time went on, like a snowball rolling downhill, getting bigger and bigger. The 1st sign was that they moved Ralph Harding who was our plant manager to Springhill. GM then gave us Cynthia Trudell as our plant manager for a few years, soon she was being promoted to Vice President, and Chairman and President of Saturn Corporation, that's when I knew the assimilation had begun, the funny thing is, the same Saturn big wigs didn't notice it. That was a good thing, because by the time they did it was to late, Saturn had become just a shell within that shell, it was all GM, so much so, as of this date Springhill no longer builds Saturn vehicles, but GM vehicles, so assimilation is now complete! Olds may be gone, but so is Saturn too really, all the old divisions are gone, It's really just GM selling different brands, playing a shell game as it were with the car brands and the consumer. All that's left now is to assimilate Holden and Opel and add them to the shell game too, that is underway, it's just a matter of time now. Resistance is futile, just ask Saturn. Don't mourn for Olds, it's still there it's just called GM now. Notice all the cars and trucks have the GM Chicklet on them now? I wonder why?

Yes, I'm giving my wife's niece away because she is mad at her father and won't ask him, or I'd just be a guest wearing pants!

So, Pontiac Custom-S...
I'm surprised that y'all care so much about me. I'm just a man, nothing special. I put my pants on one leg at a time, just like y'all do. That is if y'all do wear pants, I'm not quite sure!

In Germany at the time I was born, you only became a citizen if at least one of your parents were German by blood. It is called the German Nationality law and is still in effect. I think we need something like it here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_nationality_law
