"I'm down to about 15 cars, and it could be even
less," one Michigan dealer tells Gardner -- and all of those are Pontiac G6s. Models covered under the new program include the Pontiac G3, G5, G6, G8, Solstice and Torrent, and Saturn Sky, Aura, Astra
and Outlook.
General Motors is paying dealers $7,000 for remaining Saturn and Pontiac models in what amounts to a sweetened incentive. Publicity about the program yesterday seems to be stimulating sales even more -- but not necessarily at a profit. "The goal is to get those units out of inventory so we can move on," says one large GM dealer with two Pontiac showrooms. "With sadness, we're taking the Pontiac name off our license plate frames."
