Sounds like he recorded his narration using a $2 computer mic. He needs to invest in a "real" microphone.

Good video but again while mostly accurate still leave some of the story out.

The reality there was a collection of reasons that all came together and set up the perfect storm. GM, Chevy, the competition and yes even Pontiac all hold blame in this.

What gets over looked is how Pontiac to secure the plant over built the the first couple years to buy time till the GM 80 FWD AWD F body replacement arrived to be built in the same plant and take up the over capacity, this just teed up the reason for Chevy to kill the car.

This is also why the 1990 styling was reused on the FBody cars. Once the GM 80 died they repurposed the styling on the F body in need of a new car.

Note too the original concept came from a group at the GM tech center in the 70’d that was a. Or Vette V6 proposal. Chevy rejected it. Then Hulki in need to lower the cowl was offered their work. He too, it from there and brought it
It to life.

A book really needs to be written on this car to set the record straight. Today with small publishers and Amazon it could happen. If I could get a couple people together I would be to do most of the writing.

Seem most of it, if not all of it, is just a "copy" of old data plus pictures likely from Google IMG and others w/o bothering w/ credits or ©.

Even ignore that...
Slideshows w/ poor narration is very annoying at best.
