My argument is that most people actually didn't know about it, and that was the cause of its lack of sales. Chevy has more dealers, meaning a non-committed customer is more likely to walk into a Chevy dealer just to see what they have. Also, before the meltdown when all GM advertisement ceased, Chevy had more ads than Pontiac. The casual car buyer doesn't know all about new cars by being hooked into the car community like we are. They find out from advertisements, seeing them on the street, and just going to a dealer to see what they have. And at those things, Chevy is simply better.

Charger is selling at the exact same rate as the G8. Charger sold about 600 more than the G8 in May. Theyve just been around for 2 years more so you there are literally more.
I wouldnt say Chevy is better but that they had more money to spend than Pontiac.
