  4-Door HOT ROD - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By Rico - December 12 - 10:03 am

  I replaced my 2005 Ford Mustang with the G8 GT. Much more room for my kids, performance and even gas mileage. The G8 is an incredible buy. I dont think I would change anything about this car. Most of the reviews I have read it seems people really dont like the oil/volt display. That really doesnt bother me. Otherwise, great performance, great seats, great rear legroom, great trunk and good looks all around. Nice work Pontiac! I would suggest if you are looking at this car at least do a test drive and go in with an open mind. If you look at this car like any other old Pontiac you will definitely sell yourself short!

  1st Pontiac - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By gunter - September 1 - 8:30 am

  Traded an 04 Tahoe on the car and have been quite pleased to date. The v-6 has plenty of moxie with just the right amount of cool in the styling. The fuel mileage could be closer to 30+ I would think, being it has a 5 speed auto. The rest of the car is still so new to us that we are still figuring out items. At first blush the one thing that sticks out to me is the tilt wheel. Seems it could have been more akin the tilts in pick ups and suv type vehicle. Not much range of motion, especially when one is in egress mode. Getting in and out is a bit challenging. I was also a bit leery about buying a vehicle that had the (odd size) wheels. Heres hoping the tires wear well. Expensive.

  The U.S.(and Australia) is back. - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By DC Lasting - July 21 - 11:46 am

  I drove a Lexus ISF, Acura TLS, Lexus IS350, CadillacCTS, Dodge Charger, and a Camry Hybrid (for my eco moment). The price/performance combination win goes to the G8 GT. GM could spend very little more and have the fit and finish of cars far more expensive with matching performance. While the ISF was a pure rocket, at $62K there was not a $30k difference for me (assuming I could afford it). The G8 looks as good as it drives. I am 6+ and this vehicle fit me better than any of the above on the drivers side. The passenger side is about the same as the others..a little short on leg room. There is a minor fit issue with the hood where there is too much gap at the center. 9+ for me.

  Hi Im from Australia - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By Anthony - July 20 - 8:33 am

  I purchased a ve holden commodore S which is the same vehicle as the Pontiac g8 (different nose & vents on Pontiac). It is a six speed manual shift & does 0-100 km/hr (66 mph) in 5.6 secs and standing quarter mile in 13.4 secs- so it performs brilliantly. It is also well built and handles like a sports car. It is also very well equipped-turns head - black with silver stripes. Very pleased with it!

  Aggressive! - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By Scott - June 26 - 9:53 am

  I traded in my 2006 CTS-V for this car. While the V was definitely much faster, the G8GT is very aggressive and a very comfortable sedan. Overall, only a slight concession at half the price. I frequently travel I75 in Florida, this car cruises VERY nice at speeds of 80-85 mph. I have driven this car in excess of 120 mph a few times and it stills tracks nicely without vibration or float. Cars are my weakness and have had many - this 2008 G8GT is probably my overall favorite. I have removed all the badges on the car and people often ask what kind of car it is. "that looks great" and "I never heard of that" are usually the comments made. Lots of bang for the buck!!!!

  This car is a GTO/Olds 442 throw back. Great acceleration, exceptional handling. Good fuel economy. I get approx 25 mpg. Practical family car.

  Finally, GM RWD - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By JohnnySacks - March 21 - 1:33 am

  Waited and waited for GM to realize their mistake of killing RWD and for the buyer incentives to come into play to get the price down. Aside from the typical oil and battery display complaints and my aversion to everything overcomplicated in the controls of ALL new cars, this car is a more than fitting replacement to my 1991 Caprice LTZ. Took it on a 1,000 mile road trip first weekend and we love it. Mileage is as advertised, performs and handles like a dream. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE dont kill it after 3 years like the GTO, I keep my cars for a long long time and need parts availability (pads, rotors, alternators, starters, etc.) and dealer parts and knowledge for the harder stuff.

  Last New Pontiac - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By Ohioguy - February 5 - 6:56 am

  My 2008 G8 GT apparently will be my last new Pontiac. It is Pontiac number 17 for me, starting with a 1965 GTO. They certainly saved the best for last. I love this car! From its sinister metallic black paint to its red & black leather seats, it is a winner. Losing Pontiac is painful. Not continuing this car is a sin. GM - please wake up!

  Great looking and fast American car - 2008 Pontiac G8
  By Erik - February 4 - 9:43 pm

  Picked up the G8 this week... The best looking sports sedan Ive seen in awhile. The body design alone will make the Euro lovers rethink things. The V8 packs some serious punch. I thought the interior would be chintzy, but its not bad. Great leather seats and the leather steering wheel is nice. The dash could be better... but compared to past GM cars its a big step up and not that far behind euro competition. This car is one helluva value and turns heads everywhere I go.
