Pontiac Stream Gets the Axe, but G8, Solstice and Vibe Quiet Living for At present
While everybody was focused on the 2009 Geneva Auto Display, Susan Doherty, immorality president for the North American divisions of Buick , Pontiac and GMC, silently announced the discontinuation of the Pontiac Stream, the smallish midsize crossover SUV that's a double of the Chevrolet Equinox.
In an access titled, Pontiac: Living and Kicking and Piece of GM 's Days Plans, on GM 's FastLane blog, Doherty wrote, The Pontiac Stream desire be discontinued to qualify the kind to 'focus' on cars. But the fine tidings is that a novel, five-passenger crossover SUV access desire before long be establish at GMC … remain tuned.
Although the slow-selling Torrent won't be missed much, another mark in Doherty's access makes us as uncertain as at all round the days of the Pontiac G8, arguably the superlative motor vehicle in the lineup.
Pontiac desire carry on to proffer the G5, G6, G8, Solstice and Vibe, and we're adding the cost-effective G3. Pontiac's summit justification for buy is 'fuel economy' and we won't let down with four of our six entries getting above 32 miles per gallon on the highway.
Smooth of the six-cylinder G8 gets sole 20 mpg combined, while our preferred G8 GT gets fair 18.
Distinctly, more changes are afoot, as Doherty concludes, we understand that we don't possess all of the answers correct at present and that can be extremely uncomfortable, but we decline to allow to media conjecture and negativity build up our minds for us.
