I haven't seen G8's doing particularly bad in NC, the dealers around here say they've been selling about 1 a week, which is not bad as they only keep 3 or 4 on the lot at a time (and one of the ones which was there for a long time was orange).


GM said their goal was to match the 25,000 unit sales per year of the grand prix. 9600 on 6 months of sales, one of which availibility was very limited, is not that bad.
The GP was selling way more than 25K per year. More like 90K. Granted, many of those were fleet sales. If you look at August sales the biggest factor in Pontiac's 34% decline from last August was the loss of all the GP sales. 9990 August 2007 versus 374 last month. G8 will never make up for lost GP sales.
