I think they should get rid of Buick first. Then phase out some of the Pontiac models.

agreed. buick seems to be the lesser of the two. pontiac has some nice models out right now.

i work at a buick pontiac gmc mazda and volvo dealership and buick sales are a lot higher than pontiac.. plus every pontiac they have u can pretty much get the same car in a chevy.
but if they get rid of both gmc and pontiac like they have been talking about a lot more people are going to lose jobs

The backfire of our NEW economic plan. "You want our money to save your company, cut costs."

First thing that goes when cutting costs is JOBS.

Catch 22. Welcome to the new millenium! loll

I'm going to continue living off the grid!

hell pretty soon the only cars made in the USA will be jap cars and buicks are not made in america any more and GM will be closing there USA plants and will be made in places like Mex,China,Japan, Russia,Eurupe'and maybe Canada but not in the good old USA GM already told truck and bus plant to get there p00 together or we are closen you down then what is Flint going to do hell the state of Michigan going to do the auto industry is the main source of its economy and those little companies that govener get to move to mich when she goes overseas on the tax payers buck aint p00 and then they all get these big tax breaks and there you are again paying higher taxs just like her order to lower the goveners pay is to begin after she can not run for office anymore and you know the next govener will just over turn her elect me a secound time BS the people of Michigan are getting bent over to much ya Iknow you don't live her anymore well thats one reason myauto insurance here is 322.00 for 6 months there its 644.00for 6 months auto plates 33.00 and there 79.00 and they don't have that stick you in the ass heres 500.00 for your 2005 or what ever year because you can't afford full covrage and the accident wasn't even your fault its over priced and your under payed and thats my opinion and the taxs are just to high.

well the latest report is 21k people getting cut. pontiacl,hummer and saturn are getting cut. i honestly think they should keep satur. we have owned three saturn cars and love them and will buy a new one anyday. my parents also have owned a few and currently own two and are looking to buy two more. they are amazing little cars. but that may be the problem is they are too reliable and dont sell enough lol. gmc is staying cuz they call them the work horse vehicles
