Don't worry. They are bringing back the Beretta GTS to replace it.

Default G8

And just a few months ago, the G8 was proclaimed the car that would solidify Pontiac for the ages...

You guys honestly thought our government overlords will let GM continue making a RWD 6.0L sedan for the American market? I'm done buying GMs. Obama and Fritz can suck it.

Henderson is a government/union stooge. Soon GM will realize that if they thought it was tough for them to sell cars when people liked them, wait until they see what happens when people cant stand them.

No kidding, honestly while the G8 is a GOOD car it certainly isnt a GREAT car that will be missed by most. Most dont even know it exists..

Personally I can care less if it doesnt come back and cant fault GM for that, but I can fault GM for pretty much making the car worthless in a couple of years. It wouldnt be that hard to keep the Pontiac name on the signs for a few more years. Not that the resale on this car will be any worse than any other GM product I have bough new over the last 10 years anyhow I guess

And the Aurora was supposed to save Oldsmobile.

If you believe Douchebag Henderson, then yes. GM is killing the Zeta sedan (G8).

But, I'm still hoping Fritz isn't terminally stupid and that he's just one of those people who thinks lying to the public about killing the G8 is a good way to increase interest in a Chevy badged G8.

Either way, Henderson is coming off like a real douche right out of the gates.
At least we got the ZR1, ZO6, CTS-V, LS3 C6, and Pontiac G8 before the ********, including Barry Soetoro, took over.
If I could just get an CTS with AWD and a LSx engine before the ship sinks, I'd be happy to maintain my C6 and a CTS for MANY years to come.
