Detroit is really going through a gut wrenching time<br /><br />@rads - Thanks for visiting. No Chevrolet won't close. It sells a lot globally and so won't Buick - for some reason the Chinese love it and GM sells tons of it.

Every year there is a muscle car rally over on Woodward Avenue. From next year Pontiac vehicles will be prized displays. Few years back Oldsmobile closed down as they rolled out the last of the Aurora models.Motown is not going to be the home for the #1 Auto Industry in the world anymore.

It is sad to see a cult brand (well almost) going into oblivion. <br />Some other GM brands like Saturn, Hummer are also up for grabs or ready for closure.

That side of you never came thru and I thought you were one of those spartans for whom a car was just something that took you from Point A to B. GM's Aussie/Kiwi icon Holden (the Holden Monaro 5.8L is prettymuch a Pontiac with a different name) is under threat. A cult car, I guess will be hard to say RIP to the HoldenKiwiblokenoreply@blogger.com
