Hey if I had that much money I'd do that kind of thing on a weekly basis! Pretty cool that she did that :biggrin:

Supposed to be Oprah freakin rules...but oh well

anyways, yeah, she's a billionaire, and her show makes TONS of money. But that is really nice of her to do that.

It's not her money that paid for them. Pontiac donated them...

I can guarentee you that they didnt just DONATE that many cars. No way. Who pays Oprah? CBS? I can guarentee they ate a HUGE hunk of that. Pontiac would gain plenty giving away 5-10 cars. That many for a one hour show? No dice. Its just not feasible. Pontiac im sure is eating a HUGE portion of these cars, but there is no way in hell its 100%.
276 cars x 30k each =
$8,280,000.00

Roughly thats what it cost for the cars, that also doesnt take into concideration GETTING all those cars there. Not cheap either. Dont get me wrong its a great story, but Oprah didnt have to pay a nickle for it, and Pontiac doesnt care, it just sold 276 cars.

very cool...why cant i be that lucky?

[NightHawk]

that is pretty cool...i'm actually kind of impressed...also jealous that they got G6's.

shes always giving stuff away. so what if the kid had a car that looked like it went through a gun fight, i don't have a car at all, she better send me one of those pronto

Pontiac gave those cars away ($7 million dollars worth) Oprah gets some credit though - she talked them into it!
