Pontiac Performanace Magazine - Summer 2009 Issue
Inside cover - Our Commitment to YouPontiac will continue in operation through the end of 2010Well, the manufacturing lights are being turned off on or about August 13th - right?Lots of Vibe coverage in this issue - the Cahokia, IL police department added a 2009 Vibe GT to their patrol fleet - Police Chief Richard Watson says he "plans to add one or two more at the next opportunity". Better hurry chief! There is a feature article on Mike Elders replacing his wrecked 2003 Vibe with a 2009 Vibe GT. Subhead was "Second time's the charm for Vibe Owner". Ironic! Well, Third time's will have to be a Matrix.Also an article featuring Rachel Carter, a Vibe owner from Charlotte, VT.My question - why did they waste their time and money on this issue?

Well, I don't think it was even worth the cost to mail it.On the address page was the message "PLUS: Find your new AT YOUR SERVICE booklet inside!" It looked as if there was to be 4 service special coupons, D-10 thru D-13. Said "SPECIAL OFFER - JUST FOR YOU". But there were just 4 promotional messages. Maybe that was because my Pontiac Dealer sold his Pontiac-GMC and acquired a Chevy dealership so I am an orphan .

re: "...My question - why did they waste their time and money on this issue?"ANS: Can you say "GM management momentum?" Sure you can! They're trained to spend money like there's no tomorrow (remember, Uncle Sam now "owns" the controlling stake)!
...and the Devil said: "...yes, but it's a DRY heat!"

Quote, originally posted by jake75 »But I guess the postage cost just goes from one govt. pocket to the other.May have been true several years ago. Postal Service became a hybrid private/government business a while back. Who knows where that money flows?GM knows that there are customers being left behind. The contract to publish the PPM rag was probably paid out a long time ago, so the issue was generated anyway. When people die, their magazine subscriptions continue to roll in until they run out or are cancelled by someone,right?
