It has been a sales disappointment. Now, I love the car and don't know why, but it just didn't sell like they hoped. So its not a surprise its dead, no matter how much you think Lutz is an idiot for killing it. It killed itself.

I feel the G8 was, is, the best car they ever built( I know it's a Holden). Anyway, you pulled the plug on the G8, I am pulling the plug on GM.

Sad. This was the first Pontiac in a VERY long time that I seriously admired and was have seriously considered. In the 80's, GM compared the Grand Prix and Bonneville to BMW models. My sides hurt from laughing so hard. The G8, though maybe not quite as refined as a BMW truly could be called a more price conscience alternative without people snickering. This is one model that is a shame to let go. Before I bought my Passat this past October, I was wished that GM might bring the Holden wagon over here as a G8 variant. Sad.

This coincides with the new ‘VF’ Commodore that is being built on the Zeta II, or a combined Alpha/Sigma/Zeta platform according to some reports; if the plan is accurate this model will be built in Oshawa. Industry Sources, which have a high degree of accuracy, indicate this plan is a go. The new platform could be upwards of 300lbs lighter than Zeta I. The current ‘VE’ is over-engineered designed to accept AWD and Commercial applications. So Fritz was right in His statement that the current G8 (VE Commodore) will not be return to NA. Either way, if true, then a car similar to the G8 will not arrive for at least 2 years. Note the Impala is due to change platforms at this time as well. DB9 PS. A lot can change between now and then.

Why does GM have to correct itself every time they make a statement? Especially when they are retracting a good one? They could easily keep a low volume car. They help the image (Viper anyone) of the company and attract buyers to other models potentially. Whatever, I could care less about how bad GM is screwing itself... I don’t get this.

You obviously know a lot less about Lutz than you pretend you do. And for those of you who are too damn thick to see it, Lutz was the one trying to SAVE the G8, after the rest of the board and the Henderson decided to kill it. 90% of you guys have the most frustrating cases of automotive A.D.D. I've ever come across. gymtex, financial experience? You obviously know a lot less about Lutz than you pretend you do.

A 77 year old has no taste in designing a beautiful car. He might be a financial experience, but he should retire as well as the G8 and the Caprice. Why would someone think, "No thanks BMW, Audi, or Lexus, Im buying the Caprice." If I want a car with a proven track record, I certainly wouldn't think GM. Gawd help GM. Are you folks kidding me?
