lol, my friend has a grand-am and its the most terrible car ever. Pontiacs arent known to be very decent except for the Fiero and the Firebird. I learned today that the Fiero was discontinued because it was competing with corvettes, even though it was 1/3 the price. And the firebird has always been nice, and not a bad handler as far as muscle cars go... It did have an SCCA version (the T/A)

I Still got high hopes for the new GTO. Even though it looks like a boring sedan, it has the 350 horse LS1 corvette motor in it, and RWD. It should turn out to be a reasonable muscle car.

I heard that holden is making a 4WD version of the monaro. Unfortunately, they're having problem putting that on the left hand driver version. So we won't see that in the near future.

The best selling pontiac now is the Vibe, I think... ironically, it's a rebadged toyota matrix.

yes there is a awd monaro, but being a holden i didn't bother taking pics at the motor show. i'll just wait till it shows on the street and i'll take pics of that.

so eveything pontiac is basically a rebadged version of another car?

LoL Fiero to compete with Corvette? Thats got to be the funniest thing ever. Not only that it's 1/3rd of the price but its also half the size of the the Vette.
