I'm not sure if I'll do the rims right away, that's been sounding more and more like a Spring Job... I would have to find a reputable Ebay Store that won't sell me bent rims... I refuse to put anything aftermarket on my car... it'll have to be OEM GM Spec (I'm kinda bland that way) :AH-HA_wink: . The tires were less worn than I thought... but as long as I get my Goodyears on by winter, we're good. I can't see myself doing anything else on the exterior, but the one thing I'm going to do, since I have the BlackTie CD/MP3 Stereo is have the GM Personal Audio Link installed for my iPod so I can interface My iPod thru my Stereo. (I've already got an XM Receiver and Subscription, and besides, who pays 700 Bucks to make it run through the stereo?)

Effective Next Week...

Alpha G5 EP-II FWD/AWD G6 SigZeta G8 Solstice Bam.

Shows how long since I've been there... last time I was there the "Hot" car in Scottsdale was the -2006 Sebring Convertible

I think a lot of the drama lately turned some people off.

So, Who Else here Likes the W and G Cars? [/havoc]

Caprice:

Well... Operation G5 is a GO! Final offer of ~12K$ after taxes and fees etc... Cavalier will be sold privately for around 2800$ I just hope they didn't reneg on holding the car for me (!)

I'm not so sure... Pontiac isn't teh same division it was... But we'll always have the memories, now won't we? 1969 Acadian 1975 LeMans 1994 Trans Sport 2007 G5 (?) So sad that the last Pontiac my family will likely ever have a chance at will be a rebadged Cobalt. They've fallen quite bit from that '69 Judge that's burned in everyone's memory when you think about it. I shake my head, but let's not go blaming PCS... He explained to me a long time ago his attitude about Zeta, the G8 and Pontiac, and I accepted it as perfectly reasonable, passionate even. If this is the End... Than They're going out with some good cars that are on the right track in concept (Solstice, G8), Although the G8 is right in concept... to me it will never be more than the GTO of late was to me... A rebadged Australian Car. Good concept, not enough effort. If Pontiac's resurgence was to work as we had all hoped, it was to happen here, not in Australia. Oldsmobile too, seemed to be on the right track, maybe even more so than Pontiac. Will I ever buy a Saturn? No Hummer? No Saab? Maybe but it'd be a tough sell. I don't see this as a reason to abandon the company that's given so much over and over again to my family, when my grandfather immigrated to this country in 1929 to escape Stalin's oppressive collectivization. His parents first car was General Motors product, since then there have been almost thirty others, not one bad... Maybe I just haven't had the pleasures of RWD V8s but I really, but I love GM Vehicles still, their new product is amazing, and as long as I'm able they will have me as a customer. I don't mind FWD or Turbo 4s, if it keeps Caddies, Buicks, and Chevies rolling off the assembly line... so long as they never become what Pontiac has been allowed to become. If it's somehow necessary to the bigwigs to eat a few slices to keep the majority of the Pizza intact, then I'll have to accept that. We all wish that Pontiac won't die and that Oldsmobile never did... I personally think some smaller slices (read Saturn, Hummer, Saab) should be the ones lopped first but GM's a global company, and Saab and Saturn-Opel have more global potential maybe... As long as GM can make tasteful, conservative, yet sophisticated cars like the Malibu, Invicta, Acadia, and CTS, as well as a nice NG Impala, Regal, and NG DTS, I'm happy as all my bases are covered.

It needs to be one to be class-leading or even competitive.

Here Here! It doesn't matter that they aren't as bad as the environmentalists make them out to be... They have a tarnished image and they make GM (The Company) look bad.

You've got nothing to apologize for...

Head from the salesman already... there's a hold on it while he get's me a final price quote.

Yep, it does look great... The really light Gray/Cream Door Panels with the Satin Nickel Trim and Black Upper Half really make the interior of the car. Looked at the Cobalt next to it (the backup in case this one falls through) and it looked dumpy and bland in comparison.

Well.... I just got back from looking at it I was extremely impressed, and it's a go to buy it as long as my salesman can quote me a price before it's sold out from under me.

It's representative... Before 2008 that wheel had four lugs too. Alternatively, these 15s I could put on without changing the tires from the 2005-2006 Models All I need in that case are Pontiac Center Caps.

Add put in Pontiac Center Caps... and it becomes a G5 Wheel.

When I Spring for Tires I might put stock 16s on it.

I can agree with GMPG... Especially on the glass cleaner. I always have a few cans in supply, it is AMAZING. Been using it since the 1999 Venture and it is the best glass cleaner we've ever used. It's branded as AC Delco up here.

Since the beginning of Time Canada has been a safe haven for infidel Pontiac rebadges Off the Top of My Head 1967-71 Acadian (Rebadged Novas and Chevelles) Pontiac Tempest (Corsica Rebadge) Pontiac Wave (Aveo Rebadge) G5 Sedan Sunfire Sedan from 2003-2005 Pontiac Firefly (Metro Rebadge) Pontiac LeMans (Korean Opel Kaddett Thing) Pontiac Acadian (Chevette Rebadge) Pontiac Montana SV6 2007-2008 Guess W. will have to invade Canada to capture the "Badge Engineering Infidels"

Will Do. I don't really need it to last for more than a few years, when I can move up the Impala, but until then I just need something under warranty. I would definitely invest in those Goodyear TripleTred Tires for it though, We're doing the same thing with the Impala and Malibu... They're well worth the cost. I had them put on my Cavalier last year and the car rides like-well a car that's not a compact, they're great in the snow.

4-Doors are a must for me... Very often I have more than one other person in the car with me, with a coupe the whole entry/exit thing is clunky, besides, you can't get an off-lease coupe up here.
