At 26:30 of the press conference....

The last boat load of G8s is US bound. Thats it. No more are coming over. There are about 9,700 G8s available, roughly 30% are V8s. Get them while they last.

Sorry Guy, 'tis truth.
Ironically, Car #1 will go on a truck for delivery later this week. Here are some pictures taken today.

Here's GM's press conference:

About 26 minutes in.

Also, you are Josh E. Oliver, right? If so, you stated in your article here that only the Solstice and Vibe was mentioned by Henderson, which is not only false, the news about the G8 was all over the automotive sites yesterday.

I wonder if you're even doing your own reporting or just cherry-picking secondhand press reports that fit your agenda. I'm not sure why anyone would rely on GM news from your site.
