GM Vice Chairman of Global Product Development Bob Lutz told Automotive News that Pontiac will shrink to four models. According to Autoblog, the G5, G8, Solstice and Vibe will survive as Pontiac becomes a niche brand focusing on sporty cars.

GM is restructuring to meet the promises it made to Congress in order to secure federal assistance in the form of low interest loans. GM pledged to either sell or cut the Saturn, Hummer and Saab brands and reduce Pontiac to a niche brand focused on performance.

Here are Pontiac's soon-to-be-pulled models:

They should have never produced those cars. How long has it been since Pontiac made anything good? Original GTO? Not 1 of the names I keep track of.

No big loss losing saturn, hummer and saab.
