Indeed - very old, and significantly outdated, news. Still disheartens me though - I would have driven the ST. Well, not over a camaro, but you get the picture.

There was barely a market in the US. Couple that with the fact that Pontiac is supposed to move towards a performance CAR niche, I have to say that this was a good move.

Technically, they are building it, only under the Holden brand in Australia.

Not unless you move to Australia.

Which wouldn't be that bad. Their cars are much better than what we get here...RWD is still big down there.
