$2k for an extended warranty? Are you out of your fricking mind? Does GM really charge that much, because if they do that just means they KNOW the car is going to break down and they need to recoup something.

Devolutionary you mean.

Okay, this guy order one blue with with option x,y,z,f,g,e,j,f,d
And this guy order red with option s,f,t,g,d,e

Oh wait, no that blue was supposed to have option k,j,g,d,r,t,l

Ahh shit, start over.

Assembly line procedures save money, ask Henry Ford Sr. You want option x, it comes with package B. You want to nickle and dime, its gonna cost you dollars.

The size of the parts and complexity in putting a car together cannot be compared to something as small and as easy as the lego block assembly of a computer or Ipod.

Its just one more link in the chain to raise the price you pay.

Either it is a fee paid seperate to ebay by the buyer, or it is a fee added into the price you see, the end result is the car now has that little bit of extra cost, plus the dealer needed fee to pick it up. Or did you think all these links do business for free?

Reply to me, and to update (as if anyone is lurking way the heck back here). There are rumblings in Oshawa, and HQ that the G8 WILL indeed rumble back to life (as it was originally intented) on the Zeta platform here.

If this rumor ends up true, thats both of the G8s problem solved…and total GM domination for public service vehicles for the next…decade? ie) police cruisers
