G series by Pontiac , or Q by Infinity....I have no clue?
and MBs old numbereing was easy....cc`s and D for Diesel, C for coupe , SL for sport etc, SLK is sport "kurtze" = short
The G6 is not a bad looking car, but the G5 I saw was very small. I wonder if the G8 is going to replace the Bonneville?
I've been following the G8 rumors for a while now. I guess it's a replacement for the Grand Prix but because it's such a change that's not been totally clear to me. The Bonneville was phased out last year and the Grand Prix is in it's final year now.
I wanted a new "big" Pontiac so I considered waiting for the G8 but decided to get a '07 Grand Prix instead when I compared the knowns of the GP and the rumors of the G8 and the pictures of the Holdon car it is derived from. The 303 HP LS4 is fine for my purposes.

The G6 wasn't enough I guess. What’s wrong with keeping names instead of letter/number monikers? If anything, why not just GP.
