Automotive News, Media & Press - G8 ST Officially Canceled

i heard about this yestorday from my friend, i guess he was right :(. I really wanted to see this on the roads

Good that was an ugly concept it is good to see them cancel obvious failures before they bankrupt the company. Where were they with Azrek?

One of those with a Gen TT turbo kit, coil overs, and a bike in the back would of been SICK.

i heard about this yestorday from my friend, i guess he was right :(. I really wanted to see this on the roadsYeah I read it yesterday as well in the G8 section. I too was hoping to see them on the roads :disgust: and even thought about owning one for a brief moment as well but if this small move turns out to be yet another good move in helping save the company then I'm all for it. :nod:

Good that was an ugly conceptIt wasn't actually a concept, the vehicle does already exist in Australia and is somewhat of a sales success down there as well. :nod:

Twas bound to happen. Axe Pontiac completely. I would pay for a cheaper Chevrolet four-door G8 GXP...called a Chevelle SS!!!

I wish they would at least give it a chance.

Such an ugly vehicle. Good thing they cancelled it since it would have been a complete failure in the US.

I was told by a friend in Detroit couple months back, their hasn't been an ST at the proving ground, and no mention of it, so even if was going to be released they're months behind. Which only lead to belief of it being axed.

Its a great vehicle but does not fit in with Pontiac's line IMO

lutz idea I guess, Make pontiac - Holden and make Saturn - opel/vauxhaul

great idea but is just missing something.

I heard about this last night it sucks. I am fan of the El Camino and would have loved to own one of these.

Such an ugly vehicle. Good thing they cancelled it since it would have been a complete failure in the US.

The G8 sedan is a complete failure in the US. In fact pretty much every Pontiac introduced the past few years has totally failed.

The G6 is the only Pontiac that sells in number anymore but over half of it's sales are to fleets.

It's not a concept, it's a car a subsidary of GM is already producing right now.

GM already paid to federalize this car as it's the same thing as the G8 sedan, they might as well have brough the Ute and wagon bodystyle over since they already sank the money into it.

Yet another reason why I think they should just somehow combine the Malibu/G6 attributes into one car, and then just shitcan Pontiac altogether. The division is a waste of money. If the demand for a couple cars is there, then make them Chevrolets.

Oh, and GMC as well. Completely pointless.

Oh, and GMC as well. Completely pointless.

Dont forget Buick. Although Buick is like the number one car brand in China. Axe Buick everywhere but China. :D

The only reason I'm glad to see this get cut from the lineup is because I think it would have flopped. It would have been about as popular as the Chevy SSR, if anyone can remember them...

That really blows, I was waiting for that to come out.
