Colin, allow me to welcome you to America and its clueless citizens who happen to be clueless about Detroit. I often read the blogs there to see what people are saying, and it's often depressing. There's a certain hatred that is based on misinformation about Detroit's products. I'm not a Buy America guy, but in most cases I can't think of a good reason why anyone shouldn't consider an American car.

Good article Colin. Now, let's get Jim Wangers back in the driver's seat and show America why they need to buy a big bad Poncho before it is too late!!

Quote from the article-- "When a brand is shuttered, consumers are apt to feel that their loyalty was misplaced —or worse, that the company doesn’t know what it’s doing"

Exactly how many of us felt when GM replaced the Camaro with the SSR in '03. Sad but GM has no one to blame now. They have to account for a string of bad business decisions.

I feel really bad for Pontiac.
