The G8 is the only thing I can stomach that I can think of. The WS6 maybe too but that is a pretty big maybe since I can picture the interior.

Around '99-'01, I was test driving cars, the GM interiors were awful, and I remember a Grand Prix stands out in my memory that seemed like it was all really cheap plastic, just ugly.
I was fooled by the GTP designation.

Problem with Pontiac was all the plastic crap they glued to the exterior from the factory, I mean they already had crap to start from, then to improve it they glued plastic crap the outside . . .

Seriously, some cheap wheels, could have hit a curb or pothole really hard and cracked the spokes.
It looks like from where the marks started it broke just as they were turning into the parking spot, and the momentum of the car kept it moving for a few feet.
The wheel probably rolled off to the side out of view.

I disagree BC, I think the camera just didn't pick up the further marks though you can kind of see a line of them...

The real reason I disagree is that the spokes look good and worn for it to have just happened.

Plus it's just funnier believing they drove it like that for awhile!
