Sedans Pontiac G8 Article Comments - 2008 Dodge Charger R/T vs. 2008 Pontiac G8 GT

You are in the Pontiac G8 Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
Comparison Test: 2008 Dodge Charger R/T vs. 2008 Pontiac G8 GT - You know, big, fast American cars. They're not hybrids, they don't run on biodiesel and they rumble and roar through dual exhausts. And they do the sort of epic burnouts that inspire Bruce Springsteen songs. (more)

what's the sales # per year under which the SRT8 or challenger or charger-RT would be considered a failure like you consider GTO, xtec & budo ? how is SRT8 doing for sales/inventory so far - maybe that will somewhat indicate how well challenger & charger-RT will do sales-wise? aren't G8 sales capped by the slow-boats from down under? in a sales-comparo, would we pick the same # for G8 & charger-RT as being an indication of sales success/failure?

Replying to: xtec (Mar 02, 2008 10:02 am) There was this car parked out front, fugliest looking thing I have ever seen. Didn't know what it was until I saw that video of the Dud Chunder vs G8. Looks like one person designed the front and another did the back. They didn't quite meet up in the middle. Was it designed in India?

Replying to: xtec (Mar 03, 2008 9:52 am) 1) The reason we all know : Unappealing styling 2) The reason most of us know : The platform was due to be phased ,out irregardless of how many they sold. Remember , the 1994-96 Impala SS was a roaring success , but the General killed it because they made a poor decision to drop the rear -wheel drive architecture. 3) The reason few of us know : The UAW was annoyed with Bob Lutz for bringing a Holden product state side. In an effort to appease the union, a cap of 18,000 units was agreed upon for 2004-06. The only reason GM improved the car (appearance and performance ) in 2005 was because : a) Buyer backlash b) dealer's p.o. ed because Goats sat and nearly rusted away on their lots c)Lutz had egg on his face and his ego wouldn't allow him to admit that he underestimated American resolve to have a design worthy of the name, even though it performed quite well. Apparently , the UAW has made concessions because we all know that the G8 platform is here along with the soon to arrive Camaro derivative .And , the Opels are already here from Europe in Saturn ad Malibu trims.

Replying to: xtec (Mar 03, 2008 5:56 pm) You guys still have Unions? We are phaseing them out here. Obviously your Unions make it too expensive to build the car there. As for the GTO looking bland, sorry that it didn't have lumps and bumps and sharp un-aerodynamic edges that you are so familier with. ROFL!
