An official announcement is expected Monday. GM spokesman Jim Hopson declined to comment on Pontiac's fate, saying the automaker has no announcements to make at this time.

I havent heard of Pontiac releasing any new models that were competitive with other brands, so I'm not worried about this. I'm not suprised  by this cos GM has had some major financial problems. Saab is dying and there has been news about Opel quitting too if they dont get financial support from Germany's goverment.
