Because the people in her audience couldn't afford the insurance, and Pontiac would be paying her a lot of money to give those away.

Re: oprah gives away 11million worth of cars!!

Congratulations to everyone who bought a new ponty this year.Part of the hard earned cash that you just handed over goes to Oprah via Pontiac's advertising budget.She gets to look wonderful, pontiac gets a heap of publicity,and you get to pay for it all.

I'd rather watch every goddamned POS show she ever aired twice than own a Pontiac....I mean...what?...good for those people....that's super.

Can't any of you just be happy for poor people who are lucky enough to win a much deserved car?

If you can explain how being given a car for being in a TV show audience on a random date with no intention of winning anything is 'much deserved',maybe.

I think this was a Pontiac deal, Oprah probably got some spiff from GM for advertising the models that would be replacing the Grand Am.

Re: oprah gives away 11million worth of cars!!

id take that car the same day i got it and used it for a down payment for an Audi S4 or S6.

I think the lady who got the check to buy her house got the best deal out of all of em... in the news they said oprah cut this lady a $100k check to buy her house from the landlord... fuck the house, goto vegas!!1
