Why did GM hate them so much?
>>
Because they tried to make good cars that could make the Corvette look bad
>>
>make a sub-brand of GM that slots between the low-end Chevies and the high-end Buicks, Olds-es and Cadillacs
>all the engineers go there instead of the other brands
>oops, they're making cars faster and better than the 'vette and using third parties to get around corporate mandates on engine size, transmissions, bodies, etc.
>spend a few decades trying to make them stop making cool things until GM finally gets an excuse to shitcan pontiac entirely
>>
It was Pontiac's fault for making nothing but ugly cars since the late 90's. I would have gotten a G8 if they didn't look more dated than the model they were replacing.
>>
>>17528918
They wanted to build something faster and more reliable than a gtr so they had to go. All memeing aside they should have discontinued buick.
>>
They should have got rid of Lincoln instead
>>
>>17529446
But then they couldn't get those chinkbux
>>
>>17529134
Fucking what? Pontiacs were the only good looking GMs from 2000 until they got murdered.

I somehow both like and despise GM at the same time.
>>
>>17529465
That would require being better than Ford.
>>
>>17528918
Because they were better than chevy
>>
>>17529808
why?

That would be so sweet if Pontiac managed to stick around and make a real GTO instead of just copy-pasting that Aussie horseshit. Imagine if that was competing with the Mustang/Camaro/Challenger right now.

They also should've actually tried to make the Solstice a real Miata competitor. Looked cool in my opinion, but otherwise underwhelming.
>>
They were afraid it would steal Chevy sales


They were right

No, he's posting a photo of a murdered out Pontiac.
>>
>>17531276
Idk about this thought I have, but maybe here me out. A blacked out car can be referred to being murdered out, and a murder can refer to a flock of crows. Crows feathers look black but are prismatic or something and reflect a rainbow of colors at the right angle and lightning.

What if the was a rainbow colorshift black paint job out there? Would it be the true murdered out car???

It's called murdered out because it's all black and blacks are murderers.

You're over-thinking this.
