I saw this earlier....depressing I always like the grand am's, grand prix's, even the G6's were a nice car for what it was meant for, and the G8 is a killer it is sad that it will only be made for just a couple of years.

I can't believe that they didn't rebadge the G8 as a Chevy and continue selling it...it's done well as far as I know.

Who's to say they won't do just that? It's all big-business bs if you ask me.

i guess we will see in the next year but, this doesnt mean holden is going away "yet" so, i think the g8 will be fine for now. they might come over now as a holden instead of a pontiac.

I heard about this earlier as well and it's a wise move on GM(Government Motors) part. As much as I hate to see them go because I want to get a GXP (and still might) if you deduct emotions from the equation most of Pontiac's sales were fleet and that branch couldn't sustain itself.
