Pontiac G8s, are they on like...super sale now?

I just can't help but notice a lot more of them on the roads than ever, are they on some super bargain sale right now? I see at least 2 a day in Richmond alone....All in different colors too.

The warranty is honored by any GM dealer once Pontiac closes shop.

There are more now because supply is now arriving and and meeting demand. BC is always last on the list for new GM product to arrive on our roads.

But yes, if you were interested in buying one, now probably isn't a bad time to visit a dealer.

A little premature there buddy... Pontiac will be phased out by the end of 2010. They are still being built, at the moment...

The G8 is a nice car. It's kinda sad that just as GM is finally making decent cars, they'r going under. If only they have another 5 or so years, they could turn things around, given that they kill the union.

getting confused... just read this and it says they will keep the G8 for another 5 more years, but after that it's over... so does that mean pontiac will still be around for that long, or just the car itself, but under another division (eg. chevrolet g8)?

maybe it's because GM has to fulfill its OEM agreement with Holden for another 5 years?
