Pontiac getting Cobalt based Delta

Well I don't know if you guys have heard the news yet, but Pontiac is getting Delta based compact that will launch next year. Its based on the Cobalt and its unknown if its a just a US
Pursuit or something more differentiated. I'm hoping its like the Ion/Cobalt were they look nothing a like but I have SERIOUS doubts. If its just a Pursuit I think Mr. Goodwrench G.T. will have a coronary.

I was under the impression Canada was going to get the Pursiut. Not America.

Pontiac Pursuit

Is this the car you mean? It's already built on the Delta platform, it's basically a cobalt

From the GM canada website...

"Loaded with standard features like a CD player, stylish rear spoiler and sport contour seats; this is one vehicle you'll really want to drive. Built on the proven Delta platform, Pursuit features a lively 2.2 L ECOTEC L4 engine, a sporty look, polished satin-nickel accents plus enough room for you and four friends."

Actually -only rumor at the moment.

An GM exec said the dealerships are whining about a replacement for the
sunfire....

I'm thinking no, because L-town is going to have enough to worry with the new Ion
and HHR....

IF they do-big IF, it might end up being from Daewoo...(swift, Verona..)

throwing a rumor I heard though-if Pontiac does get a compact, the Sunbird
name could come back..

At the Auto Show in Motion this year, I talked with alot of the Chevy and Pontiac people from GM there, they were all upset the J platform was shut down...I cant believe Pontiac has gone a year already without a Sunfire replacement!
