I'm confused, it has Bland Australian Styling (BAS), or did you think it should have made it in for another reason?
I like the styling quite frankly, not that I think that has much to do with the subject. I just think that the G8 is a great car for the market segment that it's aiming for and Car of the Year would be a great shot in the arm for Pontiac when it needs it most. But I do agree with regfootballs' acertion that it's release date coming after Jan 1st is the reason. Just a technicality. But if Pontiac can't get it, I hope now that Cadillacs' CTS takes the prize. It looks ripe for the win.
