DISCLAIMER: Do you need to be told that this advertisement is fake and not to be taken seriously? Our lawyers think you do.

Wouldn't be the first time Car & Driver pulled the wool over someones eyes.

Given GMs current state of affairs, I'd bet GM is going to fail, (again) long before they have a chance to ressurect Pontiac.
I just saw where Barra said, GM will soon become a leading software company.............. General Software, that has a nice ring to it...........LOL |

Why should we read an article about another article when
we can just read the Car & Driver article instead? Ah, Diego is generating clicks. Again. Just skip the charades and tell us you wrote an article next time. |

GM already has a small-block V8 with 600+ horses paired with an electric motor. Only time will tell whether there is something here. |

Folks, we have Exhibit A above that explains why the Internet is a race to the bottom. Guy can't even figure out that the story is about an advertisement, not a story on a story. It's like we have our very own Idiocracy fall onto our laps.

Your presume the ad was paid for by GM. The disclaimer presumes it was not, but rather wishful thinking by someone at the magazine. GM isn't smart enough to put out Pontiacs again. They are too busy crippling what is left of their car manufacturing.

Fact is, you're trying to direct traffic to your article. That in and of itself is fine. But calling me 'tarded because I pointed out how you aren't forthright about your journalism? Priceless. |

GM already has a performance division, it's called Cadillac. With the exception of the Corvette, what else is there?

The Corvette earns EPA fuel economy ratings of 15 mpg city, 27 mpg highway, and 19 mpg combined.

Do you have a better suggestion who paid for the ad? Please spill the beans.

April 1st was quite awhile ago. FWIW, I take the disclaimer as being coy, the first of several serial ads. Quote:
Since the magazine issue just came out, I'm interested in learning what dots can be connected by others in the ensuing weeks . . . or the source of the joke. |

1. I mentioned in my original comment who I thought was responsible, and you brought it up in point 2. 2. Seeing as it is April, and the magazine did not come out on the first, it is probably an April Fools joke. 3. Is it subjective? Have you been watching motor vehicle trends? Especially GM? If you are, you are a liar. If you aren't, you have nothing to say. Just admit you had a bad thought and move on.

Definitely the usual internet b.s. "An electric motor to start a... 372 cu V-8?"
Yeah - just like my Yukon. Describing that as a "hybrid" is beyond any BS that GM is capable of - that's approaching a Tesla marketing level of lies!
