Why does no one ever win that G6 on the The Price is Right?

Post by Kari »

I swear, I've seen that same car on the show at least 3 times now, and it always goes with the Card Game, where you draw cards to get within a certain amount of the price without going over. Every person I've seen play for that car so far seems to think it's around $16,000. Now surely a 4-door sedan with a V6 looks like it might cost more than that. No one ever wins it, because no one can ever manage to price it right. It's driving me crazy...I'm ready to fly to California so I can win it! LOLIs the car really that much too expensive? The one they keep trying to give away is priced at $20,000 and change, yet no one ever manages to come within even $2,000 of the price...they all stop in the same place...$15-$16,000. You can't even get a Vibe for that.

they must think since oprah gave away so many, they can't cost all that much

Well they just tried to give it away again...that same green G6 with the cheesy looking steel wheels...and once again it was not won. It was the card game like it always is, and the lady even drew the Ace on the first card so she got to bid whatever she wanted...she bid $16,500...yet another underbid. It's a four-door sedan people...I don't understand why they all think it's that low priced. Unless those wheels make it look so cheap that they can't bring themselves to bid any more. LOL I really need to find a way to be on that show so I can get that car off their hands.

They just tried to give that G6 away again...this time with a different game. Since they used the Dice Game, in which they give you the first number (2), it doesn't give them an opportunity to price it at 16,000. I figured they might finally give it away this time, but I was wrong...heh. It had a really strange price so the woman still missed it since it ended in 1 instead of the usual 5. (She'd rolled a 2 and said it was higher.) Guess they're still stuck with it for a while. They must be getting desperate to get rid of that car.

If I had a G6 for that long I'd be itching to get rid of it too.

Yet another giveaway attempt today...this time with the cover up game...and yet another failure. Perhaps I should publicize that "The green G6 is $21,631" so someone will finally win it. I should write the show a letter and volunteer to take that car off of their hands...LOL.

People are used to getting crappy cars off of there. Like a bare bones Ford Focus worth $9,000. Any car over $16000 is a rarity. I haven't watched the Price is Right for a long time. When I was younger I would watch it everyday when I wasn't in school. I could win about 90% of the games you could play along with at home.

Lately they give away a pretty diverse array of cars...minivans, PT Cruisers, G6s, occasionally a Corvette or something really expensive in a showcase...Cadillacs, etc. I remember when they used to be $9,000 Escorts though.

Well it looks like they must have gotten rid of the original G6...the one they tried to give away today was a silver 2007...it was $19.240.

One of my friends told me there was a vibe on there not too long ago. Maybe a month...
