Same in MA. You do pay state tax on GGT. There was a thread on the M3 boards a while back about it being related to the manufacturer being charged who is passing it along to the buyer. There were people who tried to get out of this part - my guess is that the dealer just included it as part of the deal rather than losing the sale over it.
I wouldn't mind the GGT if it applied to all personal vehicles since the idea is to encourage decreased consumption. Making SUVs and pick-ups exempt is what bugs me.
