Any idea what products were on the Zeta platform?  This doesn't apply to 
the new 2-seater for Pontiac and Saturn I hope, these actually look like 
something that might sell.

I doubt they will drop Pontiac, but I am still amazed they killed 
Oldsmobile and not Buick.  Frankly, GM could do without one of the two 
brands, but as a long-time Pontiac fan, I will root to keep that one.
