I know nothing about the recent Pontiac's. My father had a Pontiac Grand Am (grey colour) from around 1974 to 1978. It was an awesome looking car.....with the "rubber" front & powerful too. I used to drive it from time to time. The really important thing for usa vehicles was the conversion from right hand drive to left hand drive. It was usually done locally (in Australia). If it was done well the vehicle was top notch. If it wasn't done well...the vehicle was a bit so/so. The Grand Am wasn't converted that well....pity, however, it was still a great car. The cars from recent times are SO BLAND. Bring back the early 1960's cars !!

And, upon hearing the discontinuing news, I was wondering how it affects me.Edihttp://www.myspace.com/progeanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6964576494417111401.post-59359258209912158662009-05-01T22:05:00.000-04:002009-05-01T22:05:00.000-04:00Can't do a thing about Pontiac (end of an era!

Although, as you pointed out, the era in mind actually ended a long time ago) but you know as well as I do where the excitement of new music has gone: everywhere but commercial "rock music." You gotta go beyond the local chain store to get stuff that is still exciting. Or at least you have to do so around HERE. New Jersey may be different.
