1. One, a 2000 Grand Am.

2. Hopefully a G8.

I'm confused, it has Bland Australian Styling (BAS), or did you think it should have made it in for another reason?

I like the styling quite frankly, not that I think that has much to do with the subject. I just think that the G8 is a great car for the market segment that it's aiming for and Car of the Year would be a great shot in the arm for Pontiac when it needs it most. But I do agree with regfootballs' acertion that it's release date coming after Jan 1st is the reason. Just a technicality. But if Pontiac can't get it, I hope now that Cadillacs' CTS takes the prize. It looks ripe for the win.

Does anyone have an idea as to why the G8 did not make the cut in Motor Trends' 2008 Car of the Year competiton? I found it odd and a little infuriating. Just wondering.
