It had a bad habbit of wanting to go back to the dealer way too often for part replacement.
Sure was fun to drive though!

Either the G8 or the new Camaro is going to replace my HHR in late 2010. So far the G8 has the edge in interior and value for my money, but I'm going to wait until the HHR is paid off and see what the final version of the Camaro interior is like before I pony up.

The Pontiac G8 is a rear-wheel drive sedan created by General Motors division Pontiac to be released for the 2008 model year. It is a replacement for the Pontiac Grand Prix, which ceases production after the 2008 model year with one year of overlapping.
The G8 will likely be based on the GM Zeta platform which is shared with the Holden Commodore VE in the Australian market. At the 2007 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, GM chairman Bob Lutz confirmed that GM intends to import Holden Commodores into North America as G8's.[1]The news was not planned to be officially announced until the Chicago Auto Show in February. The G8 will become GM's first North American Zeta vehicle. It is unknown how much of the G8's design will be shared with the Commodore, however it is certain that it will be more exciting that its other American counterpart, the 2009 Chevrolet Impala. This will be the first rear-wheel-drive Pontiac sedan sold in North America since the 1986 Bonneville and Parisienne, however there are several rear-wheel-driver offerings on the road already as the Solstice and the outgoing GTO. The size of the car should be about that of most current mid-size sedans on-sale today, comparable to the Dodge Charger and the newer, larger, Toyota Camry. The G8 debuts at the 2007 Chicago
