A very cool car has been canned for whatever reason. I dont beilve the cost aspect since its pretty much paid for, but the G8 ST is not coming to the US.

Hardtop solstice still coming out?
|
Yes, still on.
|
So what's this about I hear them having stamping issues with the Camaro?
|
One of the companies that were doing the tooling for Camaro went BK, and GM is suing them.
|
doesnt matter weither it was gonna come out or not, it was gonna flop anyways like the GTO and G8's.
|
please kill the g3 please kill the g3 pleaseeee
|
G3?
NM I see it now. That is way fuglier than any other Pontiac right now |

Havent heard. The stamping of the rear parts might be tough.
|
Think of all the great names: Firebird, GTO, Bonneville, Tempest, LeMans, Grand Prix, Catalina, Star Chief, etc., and now we got this G8, G6, G5, and God help me G3 ****? It's a shame what GM did to this brand.

Btw, the Gto actually outsold the G8 when comparing the first year sales. 15K to 12K. So I don't think it's looking to good for the G8 especially with GM's money problems. |

GM actually makes a ton of money off of it since the 12k G8's sold here is a massive number when you factor in that the plant that makes them is built to make 80k of them a year for world wide production. More then half of Commodore sales aer outside Oz. Only major cost GM has to worry about is shipping. G8 has a few factors going against it right now, vs the GTO, but in no way a flop. The 4th gen was a flop cause it was supposed to sell 150k units a year. The "G3" was another car to appease the dealer network who wanted an gas sipping econo car on thier lots. Problem is that the G5 XFE gets better gas milage then the G3...stupid dealers Thats strike 2 for PBG dealers. |
