Another One Bites The Dust

 Another Pontiac is being discontinued, the Bonneville. Production ends this summer, and another Pontiac model fades into the sunset.



 Sales have dropped dramatically, and it's not a model that I really care much about, but this is troubling for the performance division of GM. There is not a single Pontiac model that is exclusive to the division (the GTO is a version of Holden's Monaro), even the upcoming Solstice roadster. It seems like Pontiac is slowly being squeezed out of GM's lineup as Chevy takes on a more sporty demeanor (look at the Cobalt commercils for an example). If this continues Pontiac is in danger of becoming the next Mercury.
