? The pontiac comment? The only thing Pontiac had been selling at the end were lumina variants and filling up the crappy used car lots. They are worthless for resale cause the interior was so cheaply made etc. They haven't made anything decent for many years. They couldn't come up with a decent car of their on so corporate GM had to import the Aussie car and sell it under the Pontiac brand to try to get something good but they over priced it and it didn't look like a GTO. Then they tried again and failed.

At least Olds had cars that people bought. Pontiac was the hoopdie brand in the end and had nothing decent. Even the Solstice was eh.. The Saturn version was better looking.Check out liberty motors as they are the LHD export versions.>My GM card points are burning a hole in my pocket... a few months ago >they offered to let me use ALL my points (on certain vehicles), not >just the "redemption allowance".

They are a maintenance nightmare when driven as a daily driver and not worked hard. You won't be disappointed with the Chevy 1500. They are very nice trucks. You won't be disappointed. I also prefer the looks of the GMC but you pay allot more for a different look to the same truck....
