    But officials from the General were hopeful at a meeting here yesterday. Susan Docherty, GM's North American vice president of Buick, Pontiac and GMC, even suggested that if one of her three brands were to get its own version of the upcoming Chevrolet Volt, it would almost certainly be Pontiac.

    I second DaV8or. Whole-heartedly. 100%

    Maybe we could get something a little closer to the Volt concept. I'll gladly give up some electric range to get an exciting, true Volt concept derived car.
