The G8 is a niche car at best. Most people prefer FWD or AWD in the midwest. Camaro?? brother can you spare $40,000?? Trucks?? The truck market is over as we know it!! Trucks will be for contractors and delivery service. I'm talking about GM being competitive in a $5.00 gallon market!!
I'm talking about the cars people really buy!!! I'm talking about the cars that stole the market from GM!! Like Honda!! Toyota!!! Lexus!!! You think Toyota and Lexus buyers are ever coming back to Buick and Cadillac? Do you really see the Honda Civic buyer considering a Cobalt. Will a person who has owned four Honda Accords in a row even think about a Malibu?
GTO?? I had one!! That car was a complete failure and money loser for GM. You can make fun of the Mustang all you want, but at least Ford makes money on that car and you can still buy it. If the GTO was such a great car, why is it gone? Car companies don't stop building cars people want.

Hmm, where to begin with this rant. My first instinct is to dismiss it as utter tripe but here goes a response anyway.
You said GM abandoned the American driver. I gave you examples of several niche brands that are given to enthusiasts, as well as the bread and butter truck market example. So they don't count? Oh only in your world I guess.
5 dollar a gallon market??? Gas is slipping below 4 bucks as we speak. I filled up on premium today for $3.76 a gallon. That's not to say the price won't rise again soon but at least get your facts straight and say 4 dollars a gallon.
40,000 dollar Camaro??? Lay off the crack. Maybe for the balls out loaded up SS but for the V6's NO FLIPPIN WAY.
Saying the truck market is over is retarded. The two dealerships I've been into recently have stated the SUV market is down/dying but people are still buying trucks. There will always be the want/need for a full sized truck for towing weekend toys as well as the worksite. Get real
You never owned a GTO, stop talking out your butt. To say it was a complete failure only proves you were dropped on your head too many times as a child. And where did I make fun of the Mustang? Are you actually reading my posts or just hallucinating in your own little universe.
And by your own convoluted, faulted "reasoning" I guess the Model-T was a complete failure since it's not on the market anymore.
I would suggest you go buy a Honda and leave the real cars to those of us who appreciate them. I don't think I'd like to have someone of your limited and narrow vision driving a GM product anyway. A nice boring silver Honda Civic would be good for you. You probably already drive one anyway. Come up with something real and we'll debate but this garbage you just rebutted with is just that rubbish.
