Global Noun Shortage

The last five cars we tested:

XC90
WRX STi
S60R
9-3
LS430

What happened to car names? Have the numerologists won at last?

Is GM Lining Up Pontiac for the Kill?

Forgive us for asking, but --

-- Pontiac withdraws from NASCAR

-- The Pontiac name will be found nowhere on the new GTO

-- Coincidence?

Anybody want to call John Rock?

(You know, a GM with Chevy as the bread and butter and performance division, Cadillac as the luxury brand, and Buick in the middle market could work...)
