nope.
now its supposed to be GONE.
prolly by the end of 2010 or sooner.
and then they said that they WERENT gonna carry over/rebadge the G8, which is insane. expect that to change ... the same way this WHOLE pontiac story has mutated in the media this year.
my buds and i had INTENSE talks about this on saturday night while hangin' outside (it was summer here in south NJ)... and we agree with the obvious / already stated idea:
put the G8 back as a CHEVY impala. RWD super-sedan... V6 options, of course.... for the old bitties that buy up IMPALA like crazy,
then finally a V8 SS - like the G8 GT or GXP.
anyway, it sucks but its interesting nonetheless to see how the shape of the industry/GM is changing. i support them no matter what. even though this Obama administration seesm to be running the show - i still favor GM design and american muscle heritage.
