I read the reason for Pontiac's demise was for profitability, not lack of sales. There are lots of G6's on the road, but apparently the decision to "shutter" Pontiac was because it was too expensive to maintain.

Why?

I guess I don't have insight into the costs associated with... what? Salaries, marketing, R&D, etc? Was it really that expensive to make the vehicles, that their margins were paper thin?
