You make it sound like it's a bad a*s car... but then it's just a Cobalt.

just figured this out when i saw one today. the cobalt sedan has the same rear end as the pontiac g5. so the g5 is basically the front end of a cobalt coupe and the rear end of the cobalt sedan

cobalt sedan:

I still don't understand why American car companies rebadge cars when it would probably be a bit more cost effective to keep it under one brand name.

Maybe if it went from Chevy to Cadillac or Buick but to Pontiac?
Is Pontiac supposed to be a premium/luxury brand?

**** just doesn't make any sense.

Pontiac is suppose to be the performance brand. We here in Canada have had the G5 for over a year now. It's suppose to get the SC from the Cobalt this year sometime and badged as the G5 GXP. The new G8 (Grand Prix) is coming from Holden that will be RWD and sporting the LS2 w/ 6speed in a 4 door sedan. Possibly a new GTO or Firebird but that wont be for awhile. GM does need to scale back on the rebadging of cars for sure.
