Replying to: jpstax1 (Nov 04, 2007 10:10 pm) Yes, Having Onstar, is a great feature to have. I just found out, since I am a new GM car owner, that I can call onstar and they will book a hotel for me if I am on the road, and have it ready when I want to stop or arrive at my destination. Also, its great, if I need to find a starbucks near they highway, they look one up, and off I go. They can also look business phone numbers for me. Look for any attractions that I might miss in an area. I am currently trying the 3 month unlimited for $20. I will see how things go with it, but so far, very impressive! The nice thing about this, is that you can pay as you go, rather than get a $1-3k navigation unit in a car. For the life of the lease, is it really worth it, and does it really offer the seemless options of Onstar. I don't even have to take my eyes of the road, they do all the work for me. That is almost worth having a GM car, but would it keep me in a GM car, I am not sure, their are many amazing great cars available, and do fine without Onstar.   Would I opt for the navigation unit in the car? I might, should all car be standard with it? Yes, I think so, it would help us all out, this day in age, they should be making a economic way of making Navi standard in atleast all your premium trimmed cars. but, even Onstar stated, people usually don't use it when their in the home town. Acura is making a really nice navi, that makes it a entertainment center. Offering alot, and that makes it more worth it.

Replying to: svtguy (Jul 15, 2008 4:03 pm) I see that many companys are getting rid of their manual transmissions. They are going to the Auto with the shiftronic, but nothing beats a manual. Its a true performer!   Imagine a G8 V8 with a manual! My co-worker has a Charger R/T and its an automatic...lol Crazy thing too, she lives like down the road from work, I hope she takes that bad boy out and runs it wild every now and then. I know I would!   I truly love cars! Paint, all the way down to the engine. I always keep my cars washed,waxed, down to the tire shine. It makes any car, when its kept up, look that much better! Like a black car, with someone who takes care of it, looks amazing!

Replying to: circlew (Jul 07, 2008 3:34 am) Ha! Some of us leased 2004 GTOs for two years at $121/month with no down payment, so it can be done if the incentives are right   My local dealer has 35 G8s out of the sudden... They look real nice lined up next to GMC Sierras and Yukons. I'm just waiting for Christmas and $5K GM card incentives - I may bite then... I saw the $3K market adjustment on the sticker just the other day, so these guys may intentionally drive themselves out of business. I heard that selling used cars is all the rage these days.

Replying to: cracovian (Jul 21, 2008 8:15 am) Good feedback...I wouldn't touch one of these for a long time...wait for inventory to build. Then follow GTO logic.   I guess the dealer business geniuses don't see the price of food and energy building. No problem taking on a 10% profit right before your eye's, right?   Hey, if the unions can do it why not the dealers?   Regards, OW
#843 of 1265 What's the depreciation... by circlew Jul 21, 2008 (9:37 am)
on a G8 GT? I assume if you pay$40 plus, it's worth $35K as you drive it off the lot.   Regards, OW

#846 of 1265 G8 Sales. by bvdj84 Aug 01, 2008 (6:21 am)
I still see many G8's piling up at my local dealership. I am wondering if the gas prices and economy are going to effect sales. I think it will, as I have seen people trade in the newer model mustangs/ V6 cars in for smaller compact cars. It is really taking a hit for people.   But, if I had to do it again, and was give an opportunity, I would totally consider a G8, of course, I would probably get the V6, because it is a nice sporty, sedan and get decent mileage. But, with horrible lease rates, that really puts a damper on that.   But, if they see sales low, than they will do everything to boost it. Talk about bad timing, but it is totally the right direction for the design concept for all pontiacs. People that are not even fans of Pontiac, are looking at the G8. It is a very classy car, not overdone, I believe just right. Knowing that GM needs to up their game, as other companys are showing much more quality and value.
