Geez, it seems that day we're shocking news out of Detroit. Now word is out that Pontiac will kill the RWD G8. That's the second RWD model to be axed from Pontiac. Earlier we learned that the Solstice would also be killed.

Gotta wonder what the General plans to do with this brand? Before it was to be the BMW (well, kinda anyway) of the GM brands. Now what? Will there be a place for a neutered Pontiac, or are these moves the primeval signs of a brand about to disappear?
