Supply and demand

Maybe they won't use the dreadful white tail lights from that other thread and stick with the (gorgeous IMO) red ones. One can hope they don't eff this one, unlike what they did to the Escalade which got completely ricer-ized with its white tail lamps.

Thanks for the pics and video, Ted! It does looks like a million bucks in NA trim.

Crap, that sucks. I hope you can reach a satisfactory solution with the insurance company/companies.

I thought this was a gallery of a bunch of Buicks riding in the Ponderosa ranch! Smart-ass comment aside, thanks for posting! I hope GM will honour Buick's immense history in future models. The Enclave is good indication that may happen, even if today's market demands a smaller lineup.

As you said, Pontiac's target demographic isn't the Camry/Accord/Malibu crowd.I think the G8's target demographic may not want a conservatively styled car in the first place (I'd definitely go for one if I was in the US market and looking for a sporty 4-door), but I'm still optimistic Pontiac will meet its sales goals. IMO Pontiac's marketing effort with regards to the G8 should be in promoting performance over looks/styling, and that would be helped by offering 6-sp manual models with both engines, like what the Commodore SV6 and SS offer in AUS. I don't know if those variants will be offered: the Pontiac G8 site only refers to a standard 6-sp automatic with the V8... @ Moltar - much better than the Grand Prix, IMO. And while I have my doubts as to there being a matching of styling with the target demographic's tastes, I also have great doubts a Solstice-inspired sedan (the only interesting design theme in pontiac's current lineup) would turn out to be a good looking car...

That's a real issue issue with having an Australian-designed car: they prefer conservative designs down there.Agreed with the DI thing, and it should be adopted across the board ASAP (export 2.8L Cadillac CTS for example). Will the G8 have any manual variants? Even if they reverse it and make it the extra-cost option, I think it would be nice for the 'excitement' brand to offer that.

Zurich? I see someone's moving to GME Headquarters Response to thread: vegan

Wow, does the Super's grille reflect that much sunlight that you can spot one from that far? Saw a Ferrari F430 at the office building's garage last week. From what my colleagues told me, the car has just been there for months with no signs of actually being driven...

1970's

Same with the Sebring. Saw one a couple of days ago and while I don't find that attractive, it looks much better in the real world.

barf-tastic looking duo... who the hell let those grilles outside of the design studio in the first place?

Its the 2008 HHR Huge Blind Spot Edition!

What about reversing the process and making bacteria out of gasoline? I'm sure that would make the evening news.

Does that mean that deep down you do love Holden?

*shock* I see that 'Bugs Bunny GXP' made it into one of the videos (the 1st one)

this is far too funny not to quote:

Mirror, mirror on the wall: any chance we'll see hood ornaments and whitewall tires again?
