Pontiac was the 2nd highest selling brand last month for GM.  Also the lowest drop in sales for GM this year.  Just seeing this makes me wonder if GM made the right choice.

That was just because they had more products that were both discounted and C4C compatible. Selling high volumes of crap on the cheap is sort of what GM is trying to get away from.

But people are buying crap and not Buick and Cadillac.

Pontiac has always been higher volume than Buick and Cadillac. The high volume o' crap method doesn't work because there's no profit in that volume. Volume without profit is exactly what GM is trying to get away from.
