the company's recession-fueled reorganization
It's the official end of the line for the fabled Pontiac brand of American motor-muscle. General Motors officially closed down Pontiac Sunday, although it stopped making the cars last year.
It's part of the company's recession-fueled reorganization, but motorheads everywhere are mourning the death of the GTO, the Firebird Trans Am and the Bonneville, among other signature models. They defined Saturday night cruising for generations of American teenagers.
Pontiac follows Oldsmobile into the corporate junkyard, with Buick and
connections three other lines left to fill the niche at GM.
