Little early to tell that. March was a very short sales month due to lack of product. May and June could result in quite possibly 3/4 of all 2008's being sold and until the year is over we won't possibly have a handle on exactly how many were produced. First batch that showed up on gminventory totaled just over 4000, then a couple thou more got added (I think), add in the 888 and I am guessing that total 2008 production may be less than or close to 10,000. But if April is any clue a figure of around 25,000 units per year would be about it. If sales pick up regardless of gas prices then that # could go up. Even though the G8 is essentially the replacement of the GP, I don't think anyone at Pontiac expects the G8 numbers to match what they did with the GP. Lots and lots of GPs ended up in rental and lease and the G6 is taking over that spot.
