After 48 years the "Bonneville" model will be laid to rest according to a new tidbit in High Performance Pontiac magazine.
Seems SUV's and an overpriced full size car market have taken the wind out of the Pontiac Bonneville sales.
I must ask, where are models like the Bisqane? Catalina? Delta/Delmont 88/LeSebre? The base models of these cars are gone, and these were the cars that were the bread and butter, now we have this little compact cars. Yuk.
Bring back rear wheel drive low cost full size cars. We don't NEED power everything. We need a V8, stickshift, rear wheel drive and a bench seat front and rear that will seat 6 comfortably.
Are you listening GM? We don't WANT SUV's, but often we are forced into them out of need for the room and vehicle capacity. I have 4 kids, my wife and I. 6 that is, and no, I will not buy a MINIVAN! I want a fullsize CAR to drive daily. Not a van. We have a Suburban for the main family driver, but need to have a 6 seater in the family. No F$#%# van! Minivan's can't tow for jack. My Cadillac can tow 7000#. My Suburban can tow 6000#. Where is a car today that can do that?????? WHERE???????????? I only ask for one! I am not going to limit it to cost even! But it should be less than $20K....
What I would give to see the B Body come back in a simple low option car with a decent drivetrain. Not fancy dancy Northstar V8 or V6, just a low cost 5.3-6L LS series V8, iron even. Keep it cheap!
Then sales will come back. All the car companies want to do is load up on high profit cars, not high value cars. I am NOT going to go into debt for my $40K car that should cost $20K. Cars that cost 1/2 as much as my house!
NO!
