Such vitriol!

I seem to recall that Hummer was rather profitable for GM.

It was.... but it should have stayed as a military application.

Guy in the C5.... awesome haha

Uh right...you seem to conveniently read over the fact that almost if not everyone on this thread has said this is a great car, one of GM's very best in decades.

The point that was being made was that it's, fro whatever reason, not generating as many sales as it could. Even in the down economy it should still be doing better. Why it isn't could be many factors, but ultimately it is unknown the exact cause.

That should clear it up. kthxbai

I didn't conveniently read over anything. Yes a majority have said it is a great car (me being in agreement) but a post is made that the car is doing well for the economic times, being the type of vehicle it is, and everyone thinks it should be doing fantastic beyond all measurable accounts. Alot of people tend to look down on the G8 (whether it is because it's a Pontiac or for whatever reason they feel like coming up with nowadays) and I for one think it is fantastic that it is doing as well as it is (all things considered). Maybe the rest of GM's sales need to step up if a RWD sport sedan is making progress. What happened to the supposed gas crisis and everyone running to get eco-friendly fwd vehicles? In my own biased opinion (that I'll openly admit), I for one am happy that a vehicle like the G8 has not crashed and burned like so many expected of it from the get go. Long live RWD V8's (and any REAL excitement from Pontiac) and on that note I'm going to bed.

P.S. G8 was never intended to be mainstream (nor has the production capabilities to meet that market) and forbid the G8 to ever become mainstream, because that might just give me hope for the first time in a long time that GM might have a clue at what they are doing.

kthxilgobai

OK fine.

Here is the post I got that from. I misread it. The G8 outsold every Saturn product individually not combined

"The only other cars to go up for GM include Astra,Traverse since it had no other place to go since it's new and Hummer H3T (same reason).

So, bright spots are few and the G8 looks to be pretty stable so far, all things considered and compared to everything else on the GM sales floor the G8's holding its own, not stellar but OK. G8 outsold every Buick car model, all Cadillacs except the CTS, all Chevy cars except Impala, Malibu and Cobalt, all Saturns and all other Pontiacs except the G6, and all Saabs too. Not bad for a large, heavy RWD car."

Happy now?

WOW..... your right these guys are butchering this car/thread.

Hey guys I drive a GTO (new body) want to rip me a new one? Oh wait that has been done and people are finally at the point they realize it's a great car. Does this mean I have to wait for the G8 to be canceled before everyone misses this one too? GM officially sux. Three cheers(and no gears) for you guys.

Well I have mine.... so I'm good

Waiting 20 years wasn't on the agenda.

Nor was it required. :AH-HA_wink:

Bow chica bow bow?

What about the Lotus Evora??? hmmm.... but that was not my vote. Just thought of that one while I was browsing the porn....

well GM is coming out with the 454 lsx block crate motor for sale.... 634 horse wouldn't be too shabby in that puppy.....

I'm just evaluating the idea of selling it at this point.

No decsion has been made yet, just looking into it.

I would say for the right buyer.... 5-10k depends what outlet you are going through to get it sold.

Well, if nothing else, this certainly poisoned the start 0f 2009 for me.

I've never waited 20 years only to be teased and disappointed before.

Couldn't we just steal two of the show cars?

Invested? GM has consistently done the bare minimum to keep Saab alive. You blame Saab because nobody wanted a rebadged Trailblazer, when in reality, it's GM's mismanagement that's failed the brand.

Cars are doomed in general.... i'm investing in a rocketship...

Thanks guys!

WMJ: The blue roof is my '79 Jaguar XJ6L

XP: The Mothertruck will be the next project if I don't sell it as is first.

This session has been a marathon since the beginning of the weekend, and I'm not stopping until it's all back together. I expect to turn the key today.

I have some new pics to post shortly, and then I'll be back at it.

KEY TIME!!!

You better wait..... and we better be done before I have to go out... I have to make sure Jerami doesn't go too wild.

Opels going to Pontiac will NEVER happen.

sweet..... Audi S5 here i come

Batman, they are referring to the finish on the wheels, see the "equal" sign?

on that note......

Black with White Stripes..... I believed polished..... but does anyone have a pic of what the Midnight Silver looks like? So they just mean gunmetal?

Damn... there was moment there... just a millisecond, when I thought:

"B-pillar delete option"

sawzaw?

So does this mean the RS only comes in Silver? or is that just a finish on the paint?

If this gets me out of the Goat it will be an SS/RS for me.... I am just wondering how that will look with the stripes.

Is shoving an LS3 in the Volt Eco-Friendly???

sounds like the camaro v8 is set up to walk all over the mustang and chrysler products.

especially if the 6 is only losing to the Bullit and SRT-8 by about a second in the quarter........

I would just drive a tank.... less conspicuous.....

I want it... now....

There is more to a car than the engine, steering, and brakes.

Holy Cow We Have Brakes????????

Toyota Enthusiasts meetings will equivalent to Kenmore holding meetings for their washer and dryer series. Appliances do not need enthusiasits.

hahaha

The Show was excellent... the top dog for me below the ZR-1 of course was the hybrid tahoe.... same mileage as a camry.... shove that up your tailpipe toyota.

You ever notice how Toyota never has enthusiast meetings? Or any of the other car makers for that matter.....
