Pitiful that our great country can't offer reasonable health care for every citizen...more like OBSCENE! We're the greatest country on the planet and yet so many folks aren't covered. Thank G-d I'm a federal worker with a decent health plan. Messege to congress...get off your butts & get 'er done already. If folks only knew what our elected officials get in terms of health care & other perks, there'd be uprisings in the street. We elect these guys but they won't consider the same health plan that they get for the rest of us. Who's fooling who here!Back to cars...seems like in South Florida the prices of most cars is higher than the rest of the country...don't know why and dealer fees are outrageous, not regulated to a certain amount like other states. Don't get it though, as like California, we're into cars big time down here. My kid was lucky to get the dealer to knock it off when she bought her Versa in January, but sales were herendous then...they just wanted to move a unit I guess. Lot of luxury cars here...BMW, M/B, Lexus, Acura, Infinity...the list goes on...seems like about 2/3 of the population drives these makes. Guess status is a big thing down here too. Wonder how all these folks can afford their bling especially in the economy! Hopefully the American companies will end up on their feet and be able to compete on all levels with the foreign makes and keep such things as price, mileage & quality at equal levels. If so, the American makes will thrive & I'd actually want to buy one as I get closer to retirement. If they can match the foreign makes on every level, I'd want to support my country and buy American. G-d Bless America!!!!! The Sandman

Or, GM could have just went belly up, and there would still be no G8.

just out of curiosity, I checked out www.autobytel.com to see if there were any G8's in my area. It pulled up 3 of them within a 50 mile radius. All of them '09 models, but with around 5-7,000 miles on them. Two of them were black V-6 models for around $23K, and the third was a blue V-8 for $26K. I kinda like the blue one, but I don't think it has a sunroof. At least, the ad doesn't mention a sunroof, and it doesn't look like it has one in this pic.

eh. I inspected/sat in a G8 GXP at the autoshow. It felt pretty cheap to me. I just didn't compare in fit/finish/materials to the likes of Volvo or Infiniti, for example. I expected much more based on the mag reviews. Still felt like a typical Chevy to me.

Replying to: qbrozen (Jun 19, 2009 8:17 am) I did see a black G8 GT at the gas station where I normally fill up. Driven by a 40-something woman who was quite scantily dressed.  (not sure what that says about the owner or the car, or perhaps it's just that the weather has been particularly nice lately)
