Name or otherwise, the car simply wasn't selling. I wasn't talking about whether people like it; that doesn't matter. What matters is whether people buy it. I don't think the Pontiac stigma (I had no idea that there is one) would turn someone off from buying a car that they want. I suppose that people could be weird that way, though.

Secondly, you seem to imply that Ford keeping old designs around for years and selling them as fleet is the reason they didn't need a bailout.

I implied no such thing. I was merely stating, in response to the implication that the practice was responsible for GM's problem, that Ford wasn't destroyed by that practice despite doing it far worse than GM.
