Going to look at this car today.
I think it's too good to be true.

Yea, i heard the "new" leftovers went cheap (low mid 20s), there maybe be a few out there left before they shut down.

The 6 speed is only in the G8 GXP.
I would be suprised if it were NOT a 6 speed.
To my (limited) knowledge, I don't believe they come any other way.
I'd be interested myself if it were black.
That is a pretty good buy IMHO. The cars were originally to come in under 30k, but when I checked with a local dealer, he had one at ~ 35K and this was at end of model year, and production.
Let us know after you look at it.

why buy a "sports car" and have it be an automatic. Thats like an automatic corvette, it just doesn't make any sense to me.

Manual would be fun for me as a weekend car.
Let me think!, and this relates to my personal tastes and preferences:
A) A wife that prefers an automatic in her car.
B) It may be a generation thing, but, for me, a four door, two ton SEDAN, no matter how performance oriented, is NOT a "sports car".
C) I no longer prefer to "row" a manual in Houston traffic.
D) Resale generally suffers with a manual, and,
E) I personally am more consistent with an automatic.
Again, this all relates to MY choices; obviously Pontiac felt there was a market for the clutch, or they would not have committed to import it.
Yes, my 3200 lb. Vette was an automatic by choice; my 2800 lb. SVO is a five, soon to be six, speed manual.
