General Motors will not replace the Holden Commodore based, rear-wheel-drive Pontiac G8 sedan with a new model when it goes out of production in about five year's time, Edmund's Insideline reported today citing unnamed sources. If true, then with the rumored demise of the Solstice Roadster, Pontiac that is supposed to be a sporty brand, will be left without any exciting rear-wheel-drive vehicle in its range. -Continued

Rumorville: GM Wants to Kill Rear-Wheel-Drive Pontiac G8 Sedan
General Motors will not replace the Holden Commodore based, rear-wheel-drive Pontiac G8 sedan with a new model when it goes out of production in about five year's time, Edmund's Insideline reported today citing unnamed sources. If true, then with the rumored demise of the Solstice Roadster, Pontiac that is supposed to be a sporty brand, will be left without any exciting rear-wheel-drive vehicle in its range. -ContinuedPontiac's current line-up includes the G5 sedan, G6 Coupe and Convertible, Grand Prix, Torrent crossover and the Toyota based Vibe crossover while in 2009 the brands portfolio will be expanded with the addition of a super exciting, all-American sporty hatchback, called the G3 which is nothing more than a remasked Chevy Aveo.
Not exactly the ingredients for an affordable American BMW marque that Bob Lutz once envisioned Pontiac as being.
It goes without saying that five years is a very long time and plenty of things could happen - GM may merger with Chrysler, oil could drop under $50 a barrel just to mention a few- so while we have no reason to doubt Insideline's report, on the other hand we must say that we remain skeptical.
