Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Apr 24, 2009 11:23 am) General Motors may announce early next week that its Pontiac brand will be eliminated, said a source familiar with the company's plans. The announcement will be made as part of an updated viability plan to the U.S. auto task force, the source said. A second source indicated earlier this week that GM was considering phasing out the brand instead of sticking with the current plan to have it continue as a niche marque. GM, surviving with $15.4 billion in U.S. government loans, had planned to keep Pontiac along with mainstream brands Buick, GMC, Chevrolet and Cadillac. Saturn, Hummer and Saab are up for sale. Reports that GM is contemplating killing Pontiac surfaced today in Australia, where GM builds the Pontiac G8 sedan. ...

In the end, we won't know what happens until it happens.   You're no fun!   I bet you like to go to nursery schools before Christmas and tell the kids, there is no such thing as Santa Claus.

Replying to: joel0622 (Apr 24, 2009 12:03 pm) Well ... seeing as how just about everything in Pontiac's stable is a clone of another GM vehicle ala G5, Torrent and G3 or rather outdated like the G6, Pontiac has rather become like Oldsmobile in that there isn't a whole lot unique about them. True, there is the G8 and the Solstice The Solstice however is much like the Saturn Sky, but that is also going away. The Solstice is a great idea, halfway baked. The G8 is a fabulous car and I would hope that it would continue on as a Chevy vehicle, perhaps as the new Impala another vehicle that sorely needs revamping.

#961 of 2394 Newbie Questions about Closing a Used Car Deal by lhy Apr 27, 2009 (3:23 am)
I have some newbie car buyer's questions.   When I go to close the deal on a used car, do I need either to buy insurance from the Finance and Insurance office at the dealership or have car insurance beforehand?   If I don't have insurance or don't buy it at the dealership, will they still close the deal and sell the car to me?   I was plannning to buy the car first and then shop/buy for insurance afterwards.   Also, how much should the dealer charge for title and registration fees?

Replying to: lhy (Apr 27, 2009 3:23 am) If you want to drive the vehicle off the lot the same day you make the purchase, you need to have valid insurance. So, if you want to get it before the purchase or spend some time getting covered at the dealership after the purchase, that is the only way to drive off the lot the same day.

Replying to: dtownfb (Apr 24, 2009 5:58 pm) Ya! They made a movie out of me - maybe you heard about that movie were they guy steals Chrismas Actually, I really hope the automakers make it, no pun intended. I am trying desperatly to get a Dodge Challenger, my wife has a Jeep Liberty with warranty, my mother just got a focus, and if I can't get the Challenger, I was looking at a couple GM cars. So, I really want things to work out, but ya never know what's going to happen. If you do, please let me know. Replies to this message: dtownfb (Apr 27, 2009 9:23 am)
