Pontiac is supposed to be done by 2010. I guess they will sell until they run out.
The added air filtration has me puzzled, maybe the odor filtration is the new part. Oh well.

I Agree.. no need to make the same truck twice.

Lots of companies do it and do it with success. Ford has done very well with the pillaging of the Mazda 6 Sedan as their Fusion/Milan/MKz. GM has not learned that a new grille and tail lights doesn't make a new model. The first time i think GM ever did platform sharing right in a loooooooong time is the Enclave and Acadia. But again with the death of the GMC commercial vehicles Kodiac/Topkick...GMC is STILL the most redudant and stupid brand in the whole line-up. They should have dumped GMC and either kept Saturn or Pontiac.

^^I totally agree with you106.23%. But GMC is GM's 2nd best seller in the US and it's hugely profitable. Over the past three years GMC volumes have remained fairly steady at about 20 percent of Chevy, regardless of $3-4 a gallon gas and the economic meltdown. Personally, I would have loved to see Pontiac as true sports/niche cars and Saturn as rebadged Opels, but buisness and profits first. (Sigh)

Well there you go. All those sales numbers could just move over to Chevy then...same trucks. They could enjoy that profit better buy saving money on not having to buy double ad-space, double develop the same vehicle, Double market...and double build...the same vehicle twice. It would be the Chevy truck brand. done. With that money Pontiac could have survived as a true performance division instead of the division of implied sport with leather and sunroof options galore. There really isn't any need for GMC to even exsist, if it's for profit then that market is still very alive as a chevy truck

The rest of the line-up (large commercial trucks) was officially canceled yesterday and will cease production in July. Hence why I think even more so now than ever this brand (GMC) is a waste.

The Vibe is made by a joint venture of Toyota and GM in california. (NUMMI)
My guess is that they most likely had a contract with Toyota to build the Vibe until whenever... so they're gonna keep buidling it till that contract runs out.

I always LOL @ GM for trying their hardest to squeeze out fuel economy with technology like active fuel management and direct injection but they FAIL to offer manual transmissions on most of these vehicles. yes they have more efficient 6-speed autumatics now, but a skilled stick shift will still do better...

The G6/aura/malibu should have 6M available for all engines, and so should the impala and G8...shame on them...
