I'm now the proud owner of two wonderful Pontiacs. I have had the Grand Prix and Just got this G8 Gt today and it is great.

I feel like I got it at a absolute steal. With the rebates incentives and trade in i got it for 24,600. It is a absolute blast to drive.

It took a bit of doing but it was 26,500 with rebates etc. Didn't get much for the trade with the miles. I financed with my local bank. I love the bank that I am with. I called them up told them what I was doing and the paperwork was waiting when I got there. Always been that way and it is why I am so loyal to them.

Kinda.

I don't know yet. I'd like, if at all possible, to keep my GTP and get a G8.

Still gotta pay the GTP off tho.

I'll probably be more in tune to purchasing one when the time comes next year.

Well I will tell you, it's worth every penny. The car is an absolute blast to drive. The insurance company said that my premium won't go up much but we will see. Right now i'm getting right at 19mpg on it. But in the cars defense its been mostly city driving so far. And a little playing every once and awhile. Anyone who is riding the fence on whether to get one or not will not be disappointed if they do.

Im only getting ~14mpg right now with 7 miles city driving in to work and about 2 city/5highway on the way home (take the expressway out of the city at night). I dont know wtf is going on but my car is getting shit for mileage. Im hoping a tune can fix it. I dont really drive the hell out of it either :(

I'm getting 14 MPG in the city with the Superchips tune and a CAI, and I don't drive it easy. I also disabled AFM because I hate it when it kicks in.

Doesn't get much flatter... Anyway, I'm still up in the air. Given GM's failures these days, I kinda want a car I know will have a company to back the warranty...

GM will never go out of business, it's too large of a company to fold. They will just have to do things differently to make it a more profitable company. And as long as they are still making cars, they will have to honor our warranties.

See, Don, that's what I don't get. How could GM be in such trouble, but stay afloat without closing? Simply downsizing?

That's right Mike, by trimming the fat, giving the workers less money for their limited skills, and discontinuing cars that aren't profitable. By the way, the G8 has been very profitable, so they should continue to produce it.
