The interior in those is super comfortable and modern looking for the time. Especially the seats, they were adjustable in multiple ways and had that plushness that isn't really in cars anymore

Pontiac was really on fire in the 90s, they were always and still are my favorite GM brand. It's a shame they got shitcanned by the whole bailout deal.

GM has been dead to me since they axed Pontiac. I’d have killed GMC, Buick and even Chevy first…(yeah yeah… “but Corvette!” …Corvette could exist as its own brand unto itself, which it basically already does). Killing Pontiac sucked away what little charm and personality GM had left by 2009.

Gm wanted to keep Pontiac. It was ultimately the Obama administration that forced GM to kill Pontiac. They were told to get rid of Buick too, but because of the high volume of sales in China it was deemed profitable enough to stay.

The bailout IMO should not have happened, and the government should not get involved with businesses to the point that it did. But I guess that's another debatable subject matter.

Yeah I remember that excuse for Buick. The prevailing wisdom was if Buick was killed off in the North American market where nobody but geriatrics bought them, the Chinese market would stop buying them because the illusion of western prestige would be shattered

GMC I’ll never understand, it’s a Chevy truck with red badges, pull your heads out of your asses!
