It's traditionally believed that a good compromise is one where neither side is completely happy, but what fun is that, especially when it comes to automotive enjoyment?

A Maryland judge issued an $85 fine to the owner of a Pontiac G8 GT for illegal tail lights, despite being factory-installed and approved by the US Department of Transportation. She's promised to keep fining him. Judicial activism, FTL!

Aussie auto journalist Thomas Reynolds knows of Jalopnik's painful love affair-from-a-distance with the Aussie-only 603 HP, V8-Powered G8-mimicking Walkinshaw Holden SS-V Superwagon. So he snagged one and went to Walkinshaw's shop to demand they bring it to us!

One of the best performance sedans GM ever built, the Pontiac G8 GXP, is dead. The Aussies still get a Holden version, and a wagon. Heck, this one from Walkinshaw Performance packs 603HP. Wagon. V8. Supercharger. Sometimes the world's unfair.

OK, so when we said this was the last Pontiac G8 GXP left on a dealer lot, we may have been mistaken. But it looks like, after a search of AutoTrader inventories, there now really is one last Corvette-engined Pontiac.

If you haven't figured it out yet, the Pontiac G8 GXP is not only collectible it's also an amazing car. And the last one sold? We assume it's worth just a bit more. (H/T to Ralph!) [Haley Pontiac-GMC]

There's only 16 units left of the Pontiac G8 GXP — the greatest Pontiac ever built — left in dealer stock nationwide. How many are left of the whole Pontiac lineup? Most of the rest below.

The Pontiac G8 sedan and Ute will live on as the Holden Commodore SS V-Series in Australia with the trademark Pontiac grille. Oh, and there's a wagon. Photos of the badgeless beasts below.

Pontiac says there's less than 70 (of 2000) Pontiac G8 GXPs and 375 Pontiac Solstice Coupes left in stock nationwide. Save the Pontiacs... or at least buy one now while you still can! [Pontiac via Twitter]
