I think if GM could have figured out a way to get more people to see the car in person, test drive, etc. then people would have realized that "Hey, this is a nice car".
The problem with the G8 is the dealers were marking it up.. I went to test drive one and they wanted $3,000 over MSRP... Nice car but overpriced considering I could buy a Toyota Camry for $7,000 less and get about the same sized interior.. I do agree that a stick shift version or perhaps a two door version would have sold more.. The same two dealers had Pontiac G6's in the $30,000 range.. I haven't been back there so I don't know what they are going to do, but it is a shame...I did like the G8..
