14. Demise Of Pontiac
GM made a mistake in getting rid of the Pontiac division, a brand that most equated with affordable excitement. Instead, GM kept the GMC brand, which essentially sells clones of Chevrolet products. Let’s face the facts, every car in the GMC lineup is a Chevy or a Buick. So why have a clone brand when Pontiac was offering sporty alternatives? The G8 was heavily promoted and it only lasted for a year. With the current wave of muscle cars, there is no doubt that Pontiac could make a splash on the market.
GM needs to bring the Pontiac division back and get rid of some of the fluff in their vehicle lineups. The Pontiac brand is a universally-loved automotive brand that offered something for every buying demographic.
