So I'm not to sure whether it is a fact or not that GM is discontinuing Pontiac but if it is do you figure that our Fieros will go up or down in value? And yes i know that Pontiac hasn't made Fieros for 21 years but maybe it'll shatter all hope of a "new" Fiero and collectors will be focusing their attention on the Fieros of the past? And does anyone know if we will be able to get Pontiac parts from GM anymore?

Ok, yes Pontiac is dead, that was announced I think a year ago. Its gone. Yes we can still get parts as normal. They will keep building and selling parts to support the existing cars on the road. Fiero parts, well, it will be as usual. Some parts just simply are not made anymore. Nothing to do with the Pontiac brand being closed, its just Gm won't be making many parts for 20+ year old cars. I doubt Pontiac Closing will have any effect on collectors. |

I know that it was announced that Pontiac is dead, but all of the new commercials still include "Pontiac." Chev, Buick, Pontiac, etc.

Pontiac is deader than an Aztek at a beauty contest. It won't matter much to us as we haven't been able to buy much of anything that wasn't in common with later models for years now. And it probably won't affect values one way of the other. Might be a different story for the poor slobs (like me) that just bought new Pontiacs though - they may decline a bit before bouncing back. |
