Replying to: louiswei (Mar 20, 2008 8:07 am)  Still don't think the Pontiac is going to appeal to many prospective 5/7 series buyers - much in the same way the Genesis won't.

Replying to: allmet33 (Mar 20, 2008 7:34 am) Why? It would be cheaper to just have one engine among the trim levels. Even if that raised the base price $500 look at how more competitive the car would be.

Replying to: captain2 (Mar 20, 2008 8:22 am) I agree that the Pontiac wouldn't appeal to the prospective 5er buyers just like the Genesis wouldn't. However, there are those people who are lusting after the 5er but couldn't afford one and I think they are the main potential customers for the both 5er-wannabes (Genesis more luxurious and G8 more performance).

Replying to: allmet33 (Mar 20, 2008 9:42 am) I personally don't believe there should be more than one engine choice... however, along your lines of thinking the direct injection version from the CTS would be the logical choice for the top trim Lucerne while the standard version would be a fine replacement to the 3800.

Replying to: allmet33 (Mar 20, 2008 9:43 am) Yes you did and nobody disagreed with you. The bottom line is that most likely the big boys like 5er/GS/E would not be effected by the G8 and Genesis. In other words: different crowds.

Replying to: louiswei (Mar 20, 2008 9:59 am) You are right, different crowds completely...those that want the 5er/GS/E's...and can afford them, will go right on ahead and get them. Those that want a 5er/GS/E and can't afford them...will take a hard look at the likes of the G8 & Genesis |
