Heard it here first folks! Death of a G8 Very sad day for the G8, just glad the driver sustained only minor injuries. If only the same could be said for the car.

Wow, talk about taking one for the team..  Glad he walked away from that, with only minor injuries; in my opinion, the G8 has already passed the ultimate test, and should be a worthy successor to the Grand Prix.

Well thats the crash test results. Just like the one on this site that been in a accident like me, we never encountered a serious injury and thats why the gp is one of the best cars in safety. Thats good that the guy did not have life threatning injurys. Far as the G8 it only needs to be buffed out.

oh yeah, that'll buff right out ...I'm hoping the will have several at NYC auto show this spring...so I can get "up close and personal" and check out the comfort level and such...not that I plan on buying one cuz I'm sure the price will be higher than I am willing to pay...but theres always keeping an eye out for "new" used cars in my future. It is quite a testament that he drove it off a 100ft embankment and came away in such good shape...but its like in the movies...I just hate it when a nice car gets wasted.

Nope. It was a test group driving on the road in Colorado.
