Pontiac's future
What about 3.9L engines taking over for the 3.8L starting with the G6 with supercharged additons (Bonny, GP and GA=reborn). Imagine what supercharged numbers would look like with the 3.9L engine. Yeah!!!

My thoughts and reasoning have always led me to believe that the higher powerbands of DOHC motors come from the four (or more; 5 in VW'* case, say) valves per cylinder. More, better breathing = higher powerband. DOHC two-valvers are possible, just look at the second generation (1982-1986) Toyota Supra.
Pontiac is cleaning up the exterior. Now they need to be advant-garde in interior. We're talking Infiniti-esqe...brushed aluminum/more cars with carbon fiber trim or simulated carbon fiber on cheaper cars/inviting seats including the look, smoother look of the interior, and more.
They must be up to date with technology features. I see Cadillac and Pontiac buyers being the most tech savvy. Bluetooth, navigation systems with the latest real time alert, smart key, laser cruise control on high line models, drive by wire features, panoramic glass roof, and Scion-like approach to customer personalization by the dealer. Get rid of high MSRP, big rebates, narrow dealer profit low, but use dealer installed accessories as the big profit model.
The Pontiac powertrain offerings for the most part are fine. Their 6-speed FWD automatic is on the way.
