Nah... she asked 11 audience members to come up on stage and as a surprise, she gave them cars. Then she passed out little boxes to everyone in the audience. She said, in one of those boxes, there's a key to the 12th car so everybody opened the boxes... and they all had keys. Oprah was jumping up and down, yelling "everybody gets a car! everybody gets a car!" Look at the article; she gave away 276 cars. She led them all outside and they were all there, with red bows on top. $28,000 each, and Pontiac will also pay their taxes and customizations... that's about $30,000 a car. Times 276=$8,280,000

"She added that Pontiac will pay for the taxes and the customizing of the cars"

I believe that turbocharging would fall under the "customizing of the cars" part of that statement !!! I'd have to ask for AT LEAST the GTP motor !!!

In all realness, pontiac will get there money back by charging the people to fix those POS every 10K miles, hehe..

My favorite is the $85 radiator flushes !!! drane radiator, add coolant, $85 please !!! Or "pay up sucker".

Re:Oprah loves you, here's a new car

that's awesome man, the audience was picked by their need for a new car, they prolly had to fill out some random questionaire when the sent off for tickets to the show, so the people actually needed the cars bad, not just some rich person sitting in the audience like "oh boy, another car"

i think that's awesome of her and pontiac. also quoted from the article.

"Thursday, Winfrey surprised a 20-year-old girl who had spent years in foster care and homeless shelters with a four-year college scholarship, a makeover and $10,000 in clothes. And a family with eight foster children who were going to be kicked out of their house were given $130,000 to buy and repair the home."

i think that's awesome of her to be sharing her wealth and using her power to get other wealthy people/company's to be generous like that and help out the needy. to those company's that loss was nothing, but to each of those people, it meant the world. if seeing the good in that makes you a ***, then i guess i'm gay as hell.
