itsme Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Great numbers. Man why did they kill Pontiac. I was waiting for the G8 wagon then they killed Pontiac. Well I just have to finish my '64 Grand Prix I have in the garage.

It surprised me and I almost ended up with one (if the GXP was available sooner, I would have) +1 That's GM biggest problem now. They made a bunch of crap cars in the '80s but, they have gotten alot better and are as good as if not better then their completion. But people hold onto the bad and overlook the good. Look at his post about pontiac G8 being crap and never drove one. I'm 37 and have a '64 Pontiac Grand prix and I love it. The engine hadn't been touched till I pulled it a few years ago. The engine was almost 40yrs old and didn't even smoke. Sorry for going of topic.

Knight705 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 well you don't have to worry, many forget that the G8 is a australian car and all Pontiac did was slap their logo on it the Holden Commodore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnie323 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I worked at a pontiac dealer(currently shut down) and the g8 has real nice ride and it hauled its weight. Top Gear reviewed it very well. Great buy and enjoy!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTSPECB STI Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Sorry but I call BS on the claim of Holden quality being better. Trust me Holden knock out some absolute crap and have also managed to loose an 8 figure sum once again this financial year. Plenty of power for straight lines but absolute rubbish for twistys. Aussie made yes, well made no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerboa113 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 On a side note for the wagon comments, Maximum Bob leaned towards the posisblity of a turbo 2.8l AWD Buick wagon coming soon to china. naw, I really have no idea.. but I do know that GM, like ford.. has been introducing most of their "cool" cars in markets not in the us. for whatever reason they're convinced americans only want crappy cars. which explains why the G8 got the axe, but the aveo is still around.
