I like the Ute, but I think it would have made a better GMC. Since they want to focus GMC, Pontiac, and Buick down to a few models each and concentrate each one, the Ute would have fit perfectly in GMC's truck lineup, and I worry it will crowd out other smaller Pontiacs. I've heard they want to limit each brand to three or four models, so If we have Solstice, G8 sedan, G8 Ute, and G8 wagon will that be it for Pontiac? Will the "Excitement division" be limited to 3 land-yachts and a midgetmobile? That will be very disappointing.
I look forward to the new global compacts, and I agree a lower rear end would help.
Selling 3000 Malibus in under a month is amazing. With cars like the Challenger and Camaro it is easy to assume that the enthusiasts will rush out and buy a bunch at launch, and then sales will plummet after that, but with a car like the Malibu it is pretty safe to assume those sales levels are sustainable.
