Pontiac G8

I went to the dealer to review their GXP a few weeks ago. They were treating this thing like gold. Not only were they charging 5K over, but they wouldn't let me test drive it.
I asked how I was supposed to know if I liked the car if I couldn't drive it, the response was "people who want this car don't need to drive it, they just know."
When I asked how the justified the $5K markup in this market, they said it was going to be a collector's item. I said "Dude, you're going out of business, all your pontiac cars are about to be 'collector's items'" and walked off.
Good way to stay in business GM.

Edit:
Forgot to answer the question. It was nice compared to other GM vehicles. Very similar to my 06 GTO. Not the nicest, just nice for a GM.
