Replying to: rayainsw (Apr 30, 2009 8:59 am) Although, I saw a Subaru Legacy cop car in black. Now that was a neat looking car. It seems to me GM has enough fleet cars. With Businesses slumping, I am sure the orders to get more fleets are low. The have enough G8's as of now, let alone more sitting around in hopes getting used as a business car. I think it would be wise to keep the G8, but re-badge the car a bit. Seek options to get the car in a more economical package that will appeal more to all, while offering performance trim line like most competitors do with their cars. People want fun, but economical too. There has to be a happy medium. You cannot make the cars too elite and too narrow for its buyers. OR have too many cars that are too narrow minded. OR, have too many duplicate cars out, that your spread thin. But, with the Camaro out too, GM cannot keep all the toys! Really, they must pick and choose. Its too late for playing around now. Keep the G8! But, revamp it a bit for more people to buy. Keep the performance line though!! |

Ok, I am new so bear with me. I am currently deployed to Iraq right now, I have a GM card so i believe i get discounted from that, I am active in the Military, so I believe there is a discount for that, the rebate, do you get that for any G8 that is out there? I come home in July. The only car that seems to catch my eye is the G8 GT. I am 26 and I love my V8 Cylinders. So will it be wise to spend 30,000 dollars on the G8 GT? I mean, I saw the G8 problems, and that shaking problem is getting me a little, worried. do alot of you have that problem? I mean I have a 2001 Grand Prix GT trade in value of 4,250, and I am planning on putting a 8 thousand down payment on it. I will still have about 10 grand in the bank from the deployment...I just don't know what to do, haha. please help? |

Replying to: zq8 (May 01, 2009 5:58 am) G8 GT - handles almost as well as the 2005 BMW 330i I traded in for it, awesome V8 sound (using Magnaflow cat-back, Rotofab cold air intake), large online communities of G8 fans and aftermarket mods, wheel-spinning acceleration that keeps me grinning (6 speed auto) fewer luxury touches - annoying seat recline knob, no seat memory summary: the fun never stops 300C - handles like older Mercedes E-class, feels like a large 2 ton vehicle V8 sounds ok, but performance exhaust seems out of place for a cruiser 120 inch wheelbase makes for a relaxing smooth ride on interstates acceleration good but not great (5 speed auto) seat memory, retro instrument cluster, lighter color interiors available summary: great cruiser |
