Oh man, this sucks. It looks like the end of the Pontiac? :(

I owned an awesome 1967 Pontiac Tempest and my mom bought a brand new Trans-Am in 1973. I also owned a 1970 Firebird up until a few years ago. I've always liked 'em.

GM to pull the plug on Pontiac
The brand credited with originating the muscle car will no longer be part of GM's future, according to a source.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- General Motors is preparing to announce that the Pontiac car brand, once marketed as GM's "Excitement division," will be killed off, according to a source familiar with the decision.

An official announcement is expected Monday. GM spokesman Jim Hopson declined to comment on Pontiac's fate, saying the automaker has no announcements to make at this time.

I had a 1989 grand am and a 1997 grand prix and they were both junk.

My dad used to run Dusty Rhodes Ram Airs. He could always give the rat guys a good run with those.
