well, on the bright side of things, pontiacs will always remain collectable so that gives us incentive to keep our pontiacs clean! also, they're gonna be alot cheaper!

I wouldn't look for an increase. It did nothing for Oldsmobiles when they went belly up. Bonneville production numbers are high. It not like any of them are a 69 Camaro RS/SS.

69 gp SJ 428/370 (still have) (15.7 @ 86 bone stock)
77 gp (girlfriend now wife of 24 yrs' first car ... she knew what to get)
89 Bonne SE (what a road car - burgundy/silver with the triangle wheels)

01 gp GTP (nice kick here)
05 Montana (for the family)
... last but not least
05 Bonne GXP (one of the best all around cars I ever had)

Pontiac was 9% of GM and Buick was like 4%. ..? I don't get it.
Pontiac is now focused with some of the best BMW chasers yet.

i always thought that it would be chevy pontiac at the bitter end. cause someone under the age of 70 wants a buick. i mean they are nice cars but come on! this was coming though, they got rid of the f body platform then the bonneville. so ridiculous.

Personally, I wouldn't buy any of Pontiacs current offerings. I love my GXP but the Company as a whole has been off direction for years. They stopped being "individual" and have been playing "follow the leader" for to long. If they would have brought V8'* and RWD back 10 years ago, and went back to making actual sports cars, maybe this wouldnt be happening. Killing the Bonneville and replacing it with a "letter/number designate" import didnt help. We have the best the company had to offer, and they deserted that product line. I have no pity or sorrow for their demise.

Looking at the pontiacs that are currently out on the streets , are more worse quality then the ones in the 90'*....
Still sad seeing these suckers go down hill :(
Long live the Bonneville
