The Group of Eight (G8, and formerly the G6 or Group of Six and also the G7 or Group of Seven) is a forum, created by France in 1975, for governments of six countries in the world: France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In 1976, Canada joined the group (thus creating the G7). In becoming the G8, the group added Russia in 1997. In addition, the European Union is represented within the G8, but cannot host or chair. "G8" can refer to the member states or to the annual summit meeting of the G8 heads of government. The former term, G6, is now frequently applied to the six most populous countries within the European Union. G8 ministers also meet throughout the year, such as the G7/8 finance ministers (who meet four times a year), G8 foreign ministers, or G8 environment ministers. Each calendar year, the responsibility of hosting the G8 rotates through the member states in the following order: France, United States, United Kingdom, Russia, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Canada. The holder of the presidency sets the agenda, hosts the summit for that year, and determines which ministerial meetings will take place. Lately, both France and the United Kingdom have expressed a desire to expand the group to include five developing countries, referred to as the Outreach Five (O5) or the Plus Five: Brazil, China, India, Mexico, and South Africa. These countries have participated as guests in previous meetings, which are sometimes called G8+5. With the G-20 major economies growing in stature since the 2008 Washington summit, world leaders from the group announced at their Pittsburgh summit on September 25, 2009, that the group will replace the G8 as the main economic council of wealthy nations.

GNU Free Documentation License My friend is deciding between a 2009 Pontiac G8 or 2010 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. What should they get? Q. I know that they are completely different types of cars. They are asking my opinion on what the should get, and I am trying to see which one is safer. Asked by OTS - Sun Feb 7 18:50:14 2010 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. The 2009 Pontiac G8 will be discontinued and parts for this vehicle might become rare as General Motors is discontinuing the Pontiac line to focus on their Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick and GMC brands. With that said though, the Pontiac G8 is a luxurious car with a sporty performance. The 2010 Jeep Wrangler Sahara is a rugged vehicle which can go on road and off road and is great at moving cargo like a kayak or other large sporting goods. I would choose the 2010 Jeep Wrangler Sahara just because you can get replacement parts for it in the future unlike the soon to be discontinued Pontiac G8. Answered by oboboo4@rocketmail.com - Thu Feb 11 12:47:40 2010 Has anyone bought the new Pontiac G8 (the first 888)? Did you have to pay a dealer extra chg due to low inven Q. Bought one of the first 888 of the Pontiac G8 with all the bells and whistles. And due to only 888 being in production the dealer tacked on an additional $6000 premium. Only 12 are being delivered to each state. Asked by sunshine_lover_az - Wed Mar 12 11:51:43 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Yes dealers can charge more than MSRP on any vehicle, especially those which are in limited production or high demand. In the end it makes absolutely no sense to pay $6000 over sticker on any vehicle. Everyone including the dealer knows that a new car is the worst investment you can make. Answered by E J - Fri Mar 14 00:10:24 2008 What would be the monthly payment for a 36 month/12000 mile lease on a Pontiac G8?
Q. I can get GM supplier discount. The sticker price on the one I want is $30,665. Asked by jacob m - Sun Apr 20 22:08:18 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. It depends on the price discount you negotiate, the money factor (depends on your credit score), the lease-end residual value, the term, and any down payment you might make. If some of this doesn't make sense to you, you don't understand leasing, which means you could easily make a mistake. Here's a web site that might help you understand how leasing works, and which includes a payment calculator to let you determine your monthly payment: .
