Plus, I think we'd honestly have to conclude that a lot of people didn't know what to make of a car built in Australia. We'd honestly agree the G-8 was the best car Pontiac sold here in the USA, right? And we also would honestly agree that GM made one of it's many blunders not offering it as a Chevy, right? Here’s an example of throwing the baby out with the bath water. As General Motors barrels through bankruptcy and ditches the long-troubled Pontiac brand, along with it goes the G8 sports sedan. What a shame. The car started in price at $28,000 and the sticker price got close to $40,000 if you bought the high-powered GXP model. When is the last time a Pontiac sold for that kind of sticker price? You’d have to sell two G6 coupes to get that kind of money. What’s more is that the cars were selling pretty well, especially considering how dismal this car market is. Sports car fans loved the roomy sedan that could be had with a 256-horsepower 3.6-liter V-6 or the 361-hp 6-liter and 4-2-hp 6.2-liter V-8 engines. It’s far better than the GTO was when it came back in 2004. Motor heads snapped up the G8 models as GM prepared to shut down production. Its Australian Holden unit made the last G8 in June. Sure that last-minute rush pushed sales up. Still, G8 sales rose 150% last month. Pontiac, which everyone knows is dying, sold nearly 16,000 G8s this year. That’s more than Acura sold of its top-selling TL sedan and Infiniti sold of its G37 sedan. In other words, GM had a sporty sedan that was appointed with luxury amenities and sold at top-shelf prices. And out it goes. All you needed to do was drive one and you would know. Too bad the dealers added that MAP. As for the Camaro, it is incentivized in every iteration at the moment. And that is for the brand spankin' new 2012!! 2012 Camaro Incentives As for the ATS, I'll bet it's priced too high as a typical GM blunder. Then when sales drop off from the first few months, incentives will rear their ugly head. I'm just sayin'... :) Regards, OW

JMonroe now hates Hyundai. etc, etc..... But I have a good reason (just in case any lurker decides to start pinging on me about this when they read that comment). FWIW, I think I killed another Hyundai sale last week. This was totally out of the blue too. I was buying something at Lowe’s for the bath redo last week and I overheard someone saying they were considering a new Sonata. I don’t usually get into someone else’s conversation but since I’m wound up tight about this subject, I told my tale. Just as others that have heard it, the guy was shocked. When he heard that I got a Subie as the replacement for the XG350 he said, “OK, I’ll put that on my list. They’re in the same price range”. How are the rest of you guys doing with this? Just had a thought. If Subaru is listening to this, since you might get a sale, I want to renegotiate my interest rate. I’d like to get the 0.9 % that ‘tyguy’ got vs. the 1.9 % that I got, deal? jmonroe

Okay... Literally..... the size of my master bath... 140 square feet... ;) When you have 20 minutes to spare: Paris studio apartment video

Don't you guys watch, "House Hunters International" on HGTV??? An apartment in Paris that is about the size of my master bath sells for $200,000.....

I'd have to agree. My ex lived 20+ miles outside of central London, in a 400 sf 1-bedroom, 1-bath attached unit with exactly ZERO closets and one window. Not even a coat or small linen closet. It sold for £214,000 ten years ago - that was around $300,000 US. I know other residents who lived further out who had homes/mortgages at a similar level. Everything else is also pretty expensive - a lot of income goes to just the basics in many households. re: Cars - a lot of positions over there come with company cars or a company-provided vehicle allowance. That may account for *some* of the higher-end cars, as the allowance has to be used for a vehicle and is use-it-or-lose-it.
