Re: GM announces Canadian pricing on the Pontiac G8

Other than Chet above...why is it no one here in Canada is complaining to GM about ridiculous pricing difference between Canada and US. Talking to dealers here and in the US...plainly state the Canadian consumer is being screwed. GM Corporate can only say price difference reflect different marketing costs in each country...but $10,000 difference between fully equipped G8 GT...come on.

Plus then there is the issue of resale. Fully costed out G8 GT will be 42-grand...32-grand in the US. A year from now...say you want to sell the thing...what will the market be. Discounted US price may be 25-grand? That's quite a hit for a Canadian to take. GM corporate reps squirm when asked pointed questions to which they cannot answer. It's no wonder this company is in the trouble it is

Love the car...very disappointed with GM pricing policy designed to take advantage of Canadian consumer. If you want the car...which I do...might wait a year and buy used in the US.
