There will be a limited run of all current Pontiac nameplates with 2 exceptions; no G8 and no Torrent. Also, no GXP G6 or G5 models (Chevy loses it's SS Impala and Cobalt as well). I would say that 2010 production will be about 1/3 or 1/4 of 2008, because they just won't sell as well, being a 'doome...

I only wish this was funny. Consider this, you have a GM dealership; your dad founding it in 1927. You took it over after he grew ill, then passed away. Now your sons are about to take over the helm..... your entire families investment and livfe work is at stake here.It's basically like if Kroger's ...

Most of the Gen 1 and 1.5 (up to '08) Accessories are already gone; they were cleared out when the new body was introduced.

tnpartsguy

I'd say the AWD. The IRS and the extra weight, but the smaller wheels than the GT should add up to the best ride quality.

tnpartsguy

GM won't be moving any Pontiac's to Chevy...most of them are already there.G3 = AveoG5 = CobaltG6 = MalibuG8 = Already cancelled. No more to be built as of May 1stTorrent = EquinoxSolstice = Done. End of model life.Vibe = Done. Toyota wants to break up Nummi. It's the only place that they have to de...

CP, think about this; Chevy and GMC trucks are the same. The GMC gets better interior fabrics, and a smiley face grille. To obtain that smiley look, all the front end sheet metal is different. If they went to ONE truck line, and improved the Chevy's interior (or added a high grade Chevy line, aka De...

The Buick's sold here, and the Buick's sold in China have NOTHING in common but nameplate. Most are built on Daewoo's components. Some are Opel designs.

CaretakerUsed cars have already plummetted. Dec 1st I KBB'd my '06. It came up to about $14k. Now when I KBB it, it's about $6k. Sadly, I owe about $17K on the car. Needless to say, any GM owner has taken a huge hit on value in the last 4 months, but when the closing of the Pontiac division, it will...

Door Unlock works too (on my '06) I've used it 3 times.

How many of you have On*Star?I'm not sure about the '09's, but the '06~'08, we get a bit shortchanged on On*Star. We can't get remote diagnosis, nor can we get service reminders. The phone works great, and I guess the air bag deployment notification works (I hope I never really NEED that feature) bu...

ok, What's the best cell phone provider? We're currently Verizon customers now. We know that State Farm is out there. Qwest is the ground phone provider? How about wheel tax? Anything else basic you can comment on?

Thanks Millster, we'll know in a few weeks; she's coming out for her final interview and to look around a bit in the next 10 days, just trying to find out some basics and mainly to know what areas to look at for housing (renting at least the 1st yr or so). Feel free to contact me directly if you can...

tnpartsguy

It's an Aveo. It's yet another sad cookie-cutter GM design. The Aveo is a poor excuse for a small car; it's not fuel efficent (the Vibe does better) it's not comfortable, and it's not 5 star crash rated.

tnpartsguy

Possible that my wife is going to get a very good job offer, and I'm just curious if we have any GenVibers from the MSU area.

tnpartsguy

Fiat's newer models are all very well-recieved and all have 5 star safety ratings as well, including the 500 micro car.

tnpartsguy

Nummi is a thorn in GM's side. GM has never promoted the GM branded products from that plant. The Prism was treated as Chevrolet's redheaded/left-handed step child as well. Gm never advertised the Vibe as being it's highest MPG car (as it was in '06 and '07). I think they suffer from the Not Invente...

Richard S. Garrisonand there was a Vibe group, but NOT a general Pontiac group (odd, because most of the GM brands have one) so I started one.http://www.new.facebook.com/ho...ef=nf

Ah, but it IS replaceable....I replaced mine on Vibe #1 at 50K and plan to do the same on this one. However, it's not 100% necessary; it just made me feel better to do it. It's not that hard to do either.

tnpartsguy

I have both XM and Sirrius. I have XM at work, and Sirrius in the car. They took Fred, Ethel, and my fav Lucy off XM and replaced Lucy with Lithium....YUCK. However now both have the Coffee Shop (from Sirrius), so i'm ok....

tnpartsguy

only thing about a car sitting so long is the tires WILL flatspot, and the battery will die. I made them give me a new battery, and I replaced the stupid Goodyears within a month of buying my '06 (it had been on the lot 13 months)

tnpartsguy

Both of mine have been Elite's. Teena's is a Pro; it went almost the whole 3 yrs, it was just barely under the extended warranty.

tnpartsguy

How many of you have been affected?I'd add a poll, but they seem to be MIA.I've been hit for the 2nd time, and my wife's just got hit for the 1st time. So far, MS has sucked about getting mine fixed. It took over 3 weeks and as many hours in phone calls to get a return label from them

tnpartsguy

They should remove the seat and the carpet, and get all the water out from underneath. They should also hang the carpet on something to air dry at least a few days. Only problem I can foresee is that underneath the seats on our Gen 1 Vibes is where a lot of electronics lives. The amp for M&T, th...

it's because the R33 SUCKS. Most R32 Skyline owners who bought an R33 CRIED. And were thrilled when the R34 came out....the R33 is a left-handed red-headed stepchild of the R-cars!

tnpartsguy

They are one of the ones that INSISTS on sending their own parts, which may or may not be genuine, and may or may not be the correct part.

Mav, feel free to jump on this with me, but I'd NEVER EVER buy any other extended warranty. If you can't get GMPP, don't bother. I work at a dealership, and many of the aftermarket 'warranties' want to send us salvage parts, or 3rd party *JUNK* aftermarket to use, and many times they take 3~14 days ...

tnpartsguy

The ASX is a summer performance rated tire. Not going to get a ton of miles out ot them. If you get over 30k count yourself lucky. I went with the KH16 instead, still an all-season, but not as aggressive, and rated for MANY more miles.

tnpartsguy

Go to a Toyota Dealer. Gm doesn't have much stock for the '09's yet, they are on backorder (probabally taking a lot of time sticking a GM sticker on a Toyota Filter!) and take about a week for a GM dealer to get.
