i still wish somehow saturn could be reorganized some more and be the GM division that sells all of their overseas models, like the commodore/g8, the insignia, astra (with the turbo engine!), etc.

yup Black G8s seem to be quite popular,
the styling of that car is a little too anonymous for my liking,

It's a shame this car came so late. So easy to extract power, tasteful looking and nice with a drop and rims...

That's actually pretty nice. Maybe the price on G8's will lower more as time goes on.

also, they have a V6 version.
G8 > 300c/Magnum
by a long shot!

also I dont think people are talking about it as much as when 300C debut.
300C gives kinda like badass look, whereas the G8 is sort of like a Camry...but a bit beefy. not saying camry isnt beefy

Pontiac isnt... havent you heard of Holden? How about Chevrolet?  
As Pontiac is supposedly being scrapped, the G8 will be rebadged as a Chevrolet Lumina. (Which they already have in Dubai?)
