i disagree here. IMHO, if they put a Chevy badge on it, the thing would have sold 3 times what it did. Even worse than making it a Pontiac was making it a GTO, it didn't fill GTO expectations. Also consider this was a 30k car in 04 when you could get a Mustng GT for the mid 20s as could the recently dead Z28 and Firebird Formula. Even so, it's biggest issue was that it was a Pontiac, the brand had no cache and no respect towards it at that point. GM dragged it out to nothing.
