Here are some more information for Nose Pontiac Gto:
Undoubtedly, second hand cars represent some of the best cost savings one can find when purchasing an automobile. People are conscious when buying these big-ticket items. This may be attributed to the fact that these machines will never have a chance to appreciate in value (unlike real estate) and the money used to buy it will never be seen again.
However, buying a second hand has two main downsides to it.
Smell
This may be true for some but not all. When we are getting a new car, the first thing that caught our nose is not the exhaust smell or the air conditioner inside. It is the leather smell. It is the "new car" smell. When we are getting a second hand car, more often than not, the smell has already "evolved" into other smell which we are not accustomed to. This may be attributed to the lack of care for the car or simply, it wanes off as time passes by.
"Lemon" Car
Other than upgrading or downgrading to another car, one of the most common reasons why people sell off their car is that they had just gotten into an accident. Upon getting into an accident, they will try to re-furbish on the exterior (without changing the engine bay) and get it sold off at a slightly lower price than similar cars in the market. This will entice the consumers but the latter has no idea what they are getting into. Because after a few trips down the week, the car will require maintenance service yet again and again which may be quite a sum to content with.
Uncertainty
Getting a used car meant that you would not have known what had been done to it previously. The car could have went through an accident (refer to previous paragraph) or used for occasions which may be detrimental to the car's performance or suspension etc. All these uncertainties do play a part in the mind of the consumers.
Having listed the 3 main factors in NOT considering a second hand car, doing a simple cost-benefit analysis may be more useful in deciding to get one or not. So long the cost savings (benefits) outweighs the disadvantages (costs) coming along with it, one should go ahead and make the purchase!

General Motor's Australian Units Confirmed to Export Pontiac G-8 to US
Pontiac has finally unveiled its big, rear-drive flagship sedan called the G-8 that is scheduled to hit showrooms next January. It will be offered at a price lower than $30,000. The G-8 is said to be a unique product unlike anything else that General Motors has ever sold. But of course in keeping with the company’s commitment to quality the G-8 will be equipped with nothing but the best auto parts that the world’s numero uno can provide such as its famous GM oxygen sensor.
The G-8 was deliberately created such, so as not to duplicate other GM models. This is because similar models tend to steal sales from one another rather than from rivals. According to GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz, “We want to focus Pontiac very tightly on sports sedans and crate a lineup likened to that of BMW’s 7 series, 5 series, 3 series and 1 series. It just so happened that we start with the 7,” gesturing at the G-8.
He also added that Pontiacs are supposed to be rear-wheel-drive but sadly that probably will not happen since front drive is much better at preserving passenger space in small cars.
The G-8 is built on a large, rear-drive chassis developed by none other than GM’s Australian subsidiary brand, Holden—famous for big, fast rear-drive cars. Holden was tasked to produce the chassis on the Pontiac GTO and is also the source of the underpinnings for the Chevrolet Camaro.
The Pontiac G-8 will be offered in two versions: the G-8 with 3.6-liter V6 rated 261 horsepower, 250 pounds-feet of torque and five-speed automatic transmission; G-8 GT with Corvette-derived 6 liter V8 rated 362 hp, 391 lbs-ft of torque and a six-speed automatic or a new design six-speed manual transmission.
The G-8 have a full-sized dimensions of about 196 inches long, 75 inches wide on a 115 inch wheelbase.
More News on GM's Holden Brand
In Melbourne: General Motors Corp.’s Australian unit has recently confirmed that it will export its VE Commodore SS model, rebadged as Pontiac G-8 to the US from starting 2008.
The production of the G-8 will start at Holden’s plant in Elizabeth, South Australia state in late 2007 according to GM Holden Chairman Denny Mooney in an interview with reporters in Melbourne. G-8 will also sport new features such as a new nose, grille, and hood.
The export order will help in continuing work in Holden’s Elizabeth plant located north of Adelaide which have already shed some 1400 jobs and reduce workers shifts to two caused by the falling demand for its vehicles due to increase in fuel prices and demand for smaller, more fuel efficient cars.
“We need this kind of volume to keep our plant running at capacity, and frankly if your plant is not running capacity, then financially you’re going to have difficulties,” explained Mooney. He refused to comment on the value of the export deal and the number of Pontiacs that would be exported to the US.
But he did say that exports have the potential to exceed more than 30,000 Commodores Holden ships to the Middle East every year, where they are rebadged and sold as Chevrolets.

How can I not feel so inadequate?
I feel like I don't measure up. For example, every afternoon I go to pick my daughter up at school (I am a stay at home mom). All the other moms are fashionably dressed, and driving nice looking cars....while I'm in jeans and a t shirt, no make up, and driving a 1969 Pontiac GTO. I just think that all those other women are looking down their nose at me because I don't fit the cookie-cutter "ideal".
They should feel inadequate, not you. You're driving a 69 GTO! They're fashionably dressed so they can hide all the stuff that really make them hideous. Honestly, if you feel comfortable enough to just wear jeans and a T-Shirt then you must be beautiful. So screw them, and you can look down your nose at them because you sound like an awesome, confident (besides the question of course) women in my opinion.
